Communication
As a communication major I have had the opportunity to discover and pursue many avenues in my college career. I've been able to build skills that are specific to writing and reporting news, but I have acquired skills that can help me outside of journalism, such as in movie production, web design, research and more.

Psychology
In order to discover their purpose, students need to be given an opportunity to learn about what their community and their world need, in addition to learning about what their personal strengths and passions are. I try to give them a safe place in my work with them to talk about both.

Spanish
I believe the most important factor in helping students discover their purpose is letting them understand that individuals adopt, pursue or fulfill their purpose through many different paths in their lives and that very often their purpose in life changes. Purpose is a force that pushes your existence, but is not an unyielding one. What is important is that all your goals are aligned with having a meaningful existence that goes beyond the self.
