CLNI 45Undeclared Scholars Discovery Lab
The Undeclared Scholars Discovery Lab offers a framework for personal and intellectual exploration to help guide thoughtful consideration of potential majors. Considers careers and jobs within the context of selecting a major and reflects on personal, cultural, and social ideas about the importance of work in giving life meaning. Through readings, exercises, advising activities, and guest visits, students focus on the question of what makes a life meaningful and how different majors—and the wide range of opportunities associated with them—resonate with our thinking. To support a capacious approach to major exploration, students also learn about habits of mind that encourage discovery as an ongoing, iterative process that sustains our lifelong development.
Enrollment is restricted to College Nine and John R. Lewis College members.
