Curiosity + Context + Confidence

You might not feel confident about where you want to go and how you want to grow. As you follow your curiosity, keep in mind that it’s a path-finding tool. You can use it like a compass to find your way forward, though you might not know the destination (and we all wish we had a map). Reflect and consider what intersections appear.

Curiosity
  • What curiosities do you have about your academic and creative interests?
  • What excites you about your field of study, major or developing interest?
Context
  • How do your academic interests connect with your professional goals?
  • What change do you want to see in communities you care about?
Confidence
  • What strengths do you already have?
  • What experiences give unique insight?
