Summer drop-ins will run from June 1–August 26, Monday–Wednesday, 12–4 pm, and will be available both virtually and at the Imagine Center. Check back here for zoom link.
We will not offer drop-in hours during the last two weeks of May due to commencement and the Memorial Day holiday (please confirm). During that time, students can reach out directly to their LDE for support.
The first step in the life design process is having our students connect with their life design educator. Life Design Educators (LDEs) focus on connecting students to immersive career and industry experiences as well as mentoring relationships. They are experts in personal and professional resources that facilitate overall student growth.
