(VIRTUAL) Meaning Making for Graduate Students (4-week Series)

Tuesday, May 19, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

What is meaning making?  According to Roger Kegan’s theory of meaning-making development, meaning making “is a conceptualization of how human beings make meaning of themselves, of others, and of their experiences throughout their life-span.” In this 4-week series, you’ll have the opportunity for personal self-reflection through free writing and small group discussion that will be supported by short articles and readings on meaning-making and purpose of life.

All sessions will be held virtually on Zoom from 10-11:30 am on 4 consecutive Tuesdays.  Please sign up for the series only if you’re able to attend all 4 sessions.  REGISTRATION is required.

THEMES:

Week 1 (May 5):  Introduction to Meaning Making:  What are my Values?

Week 2 (May 12):  The past–Exploration of my Identity:  Who am I and where am I from?

Week 3 (May 19):  The present–Resiliency and Joy:  How does graduate school fit into my life’s purpose?  How can I sustain my passion for my work and build my resilience during challenging times?  What brings me joy and how does it fit into my academic life?

Week 4 (May 26):  The future–Hopes and Dreams:  What are my plans post-Master’s or post-Doctoral degree?
