Center for Pathways & Purpose – Where ‘what if’ becomes ‘what’s next’
We understand you arrive at college with questions. At the Center for Pathways and Purpose, we help you follow curiosity, not just your checklist. We’ve created a unique space where inquisitive minds come together, where academic excellence meets industry insight, and where your questions about meaning drive discovery.
For students in our Impact Lab, industry professionals-in-residence collaborate with you during four-week intensive rotations. These working professionals bring real-world insight and authentic stories to learning experiences that honor both curiosity and your search for meaning. From entertainment industry studios to pharmaceutical labs, we transform theory into practice.
Beyond the classroom, our Global Oxford programming, including the London Launch, begins your journey with international perspective. Our Side Hustle entrepreneurship programming provides essential guardrails and guidance for your entrepreneurial energy. Meanwhile, our Career and Professional Development team ensures you master everything from microcompetencies to networking strategies. The result? You graduate with clarity about purpose, confidence in your abilities, collaborative relationships, and practical skills aligned with who you’re becoming. Because you were made for more than ordinary.
