It is never too early to design a meaningful and fulfilling life! This course helps you figure out who you are, who you want to be, and where you want to go. It teaches you to use the Design Thinking process to actively create the life you want based on your interests, strengths, characteristics, and values. Borrowing ideas from Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the course also explores your purpose in college, educational wayfinding, innovating RIT experiences, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and creating your preliminary post-graduation plan. This hands-on class utilizes small group discussions, personal and group reflections, in-class activities, field experiences, and design team collaboration. It could also lead to supportive friendships and mentoring support. The class meets once a week for 75 minutes and may have out of class work up to 1 hour a week.
