Description
Section information text: What is meaningful to me? How can I contribute? Where am I headed? What do I intend to do with my life? In this first seminar, we will explore beyond who we are (identity) to consider why we are here (purpose). We will examine how purpose functions in our personal psychology, read other individuals' paths to their purposes, consider criteria to help us find or forge our own purposes, and evaluate ways to study purpose through a psychological lens. Prerequisites for this course require a grade of C- or better This course fulfills the mid-level First Seminar requirement of the Psychology major.
