Design your Life: What do you want out of life, at UBC and beyond?

What do you want out of life, at UBC and beyond?

As of 8:00 AM on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, this session is full. Those registering for this session will be placed on the waitlist.

This interactive session draws on the principles of Design Thinking to help participants begin to orient their plans and philosophy regarding their career and professional life, and for locating a career within life overall. We’ll also use practical skills and exercises to develop tools for evaluating and investigating alternatives and choices. Our goal is for participants to leave the session able to see the years ahead as rich with potential for change and promise, and equipped with tools to tap into that potential.
