Building on the sense making work that began in
CAS 171, this course will help students examine progress on personal goals and explore the possibilities for future professional roles. Students will read and apply scholarship related to competency modeling, grit, and resilience to answer questions such as: How do I translate course learning outcomes into professional competencies?

In addition, students will focus on crafting the narrative of their liberal arts journey in ways that are meaningful for multiple audiences, such as future employers and colleagues. This course is intended for students who are participating in one of the communities of professional practice (nonprofit, pre-health, pre-law) or actively designing their own plan of study in order to reach professional goals. Recommended for juniors and seniors. Prerequisite:
