The Center for Pathways and Purpose

The Center for Pathways and Purpose (CPP) facilitates class to career conversations seated in life design and purpose exploration. The CPP student partnership begins pre-arrival with our summer content that helps students take a breath and evaluate goals and interests before coming to campus. Once on campus, the Center provides pathways to incorporate community engaged learning, global learning and leadership, career and professional development services, and strong pre-professional advising.
