Rethinking Purpose

You are more than your academic interests, abilities and GPA. You have strengths and experiences that give you unique insight and the ability to contribute.

You might have a clear sense of purpose, or direction, and see the path ahead鈥攅ven if it looks like an intimidating climb. If the way forward is less clear, it could be helpful to reframe how you think about 鈥測our purpose.鈥 Thinking about purpose as more of a process can re-center you in your thinking and highlights all that your context, abilities and confidence have enabled you to become and contribute鈥攖o this point and into the future. Consider where your curiosity is pointing you and where you can draw the confidence to explore (and expand) your context.
