Self-Management & Development

You Won't Find Your Life Purpose at 23

Saturday, October 26, 2024
11:15 AM – 12:15 PM CT
Location: MPCCW - 192 ABC
Life after graduation can be exciting and terrifying with the promise of a new job, an open schedule, or even a move across the country. Early career professionals are quick to gush about their new opportunities but may be apprehensive about sharing their concerns in a society that normalizes “the grind”. Early career professionals may experience anxiety and even question if they are in the right place as they navigate post-graduation burnout. These feelings need to be talked about more. Five panelists from a variety of industries and backgrounds will share their stories in the hopes of resonating with collegiates and other early career professionals, demystifying the idea that you will not find your life purpose at 23. However, you have the confidence and capability to pursue every opportunity presented to you as you navigate work-life balance, finding community, and building a life after completing your undergraduate education.

Learning Objectives:

  • Navigate post-graduation unknowns to discover the new you.
  • Identify and advocate for the value of your role within your new team.
  • Evaluate how to reconcile what you want personally and professionally.
