In the ever-changing world of higher education, it is easy to become focused on daily tasks and lose sight of the purpose and impact that brought us to this work. At the same time, many students experience significant pressure to choose the "perfect" major or career path, often leading to uncertainty and anxiety about the future. Join Janae Hunderman, Director of Career Strategy, and Melissa Stordeur, Talent Development Specialist, on Wednesday, September 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in EBH 130 for an interactive workshop introducing the Challenge Mindset, an innovative framework that encourages people to explore meaningful challenges, interests, and opportunities rather than focusing solely on job titles or predetermined career paths. Through hands-on activities and discussion, participants will use challenge-based tools to reconnect with purpose, identify new possibilities in their own work, and strengthen conversations with students about academic, career, and life choices. Whether you're looking to revitalize your own professional journey or support students in navigating an uncertain future, this session will provide practical strategies for fostering curiosity, adaptability, purpose, and meaningful growth. Interpersonal-awareness event.
