“Wayfinding is the ancient art of figuring out where you are going when you don’t actually know your destination. For wayfinding, you need a compass, and you need a direction. Not a map – a direction … Wayfinding your life is similar. Since there’s no one destination in life, you can’t put your goal into your GPS and get the turn-by-turn directions for how to get there.” – Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Designing Your life
Broaden your perspective and learn how to find your way and build your unique career path with a compass and a direction. No need for a map.

Listen to young alumni share their stories about building interdisciplinary careers
Learn to leverage LinkedIn to discover opportunities you did not know existed
