In our student support roles, we often encounter students wrestling with difficult decisions or challenges. In 2022, we introduced Life Design on our campus to help students understand and apply design thinking to map possibilities for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Our offerings were adapted from the “Designing Your Life” curriculum that was first developed at Stanford University. In this presentation we will share our journey of introducing Life Design to students and our campus, and help you better understand how design thinking can be used to support personal, career, and campus growth for students.
