Designing for Careers and Lives of Purpose at Kennedy Mountain Campus
Megan Pritchett + Carolyn Sommers + Rae Ann Bories-Easley + Marissa Ronquillo
Audience: all students, faculty, staff
Track(s): purpose
The Career and Professional Development (CPD) and Joseph Korbel career teams have partnered to host two weekend student retreats in 2023 and 2024 designed for DU students to connect to the 4D Experience in nature. Using design-thinking exercises, time outdoors, and relationship-building, students explored the Careers and Lives of Purpose dimension to clarify their direction in life and career. After a brief 15-minute overview of the program's origins and impact so far, the KMC facilitation team will lead a conversation with you on your perspective on the retreat activities, why this retreat approach is impactful, and ideate on how this program could grow in the future.
Cultivating Compassion: Strategies for Enabling Individual and Collective Compassion
Cris Tietsort, PhD
Audience: faculty, staff
Can we really cultivate compassion? At work? In our classrooms? In our personal lives? I believe so. In this interactive session, I overview a Model for Compassion Development emerging from my work as founder of the DU CompassionLab, detailing specific pathways to cultivate individual and collective compassion. In each, I outline tangible experiential strategies you can use as well as other ways we can think about cultivating compassion more broadly at DU and beyond.
Fellowship Fairy Tales: 4D Student Stories About Fellowship Quests, Myths, and Even Some Happy Endings
Lindsay Lawton, PhD + Savannah Pine, PhD
Audience: all students
External fellowships are a 4D signature experience, but one surrounded by myth and legend. Hear DU students tell their stories of (1) finding out about fellowships, (2) choosing a "good fit" fellowship, and (3) the process of applying – including the reflection and integrated learning involved in writing, revising, revising, and revising their applications. Learn how fellowships offer a timed and structed application of 4D and how the fellowships process helps students to ask and answer important questions about who they are, what they value, who they want to be, and how they want to affect their communities and the wider world.
