More About LifeWorks

The LifeWorks program for integrative learning fosters the growth of “whole students,” cultivating their ability to live boldly, reflectively, and responsibly. Our courses and workshops integrate scholarship, creative expression, and embodied practices such as mindfulness and self reflection, to help students connect their academic work to their core values and goals. LifeWorks students gain a strong sense of personal and collective identity, and deepen human capacities--including courage, resilience, and compassion--that will help them contribute to an increasingly interdependent world.
