Finding her Path

Deanna Dragan ’15, Psychology major, came to Warren Wilson interested in working with children and immediately began Community Engagement work during her freshman year. This work gave her the insight she needed to realize that working with children was not, in fact, what she loved doing. After connecting with Career Center staff to reflect and process, she changed her major to Psychology, began volunteering at a treatment program for the elderly, and upon graduation, enrolled in a Ph.D. program for geropsychology at the University of Alabama. Learning by doing and reflecting throughout her college experience helped Deanna find her place post graduation.

Gaining Clarity

Finding your career doesn’t have to be conventional. A partnership between Career Services and Spiritual Life has led to the development of Clearness Committees. Clearness Committees are a tool for working through big questions, like “What should I major in?”, “What do I want to do after graduation?”, or “Which of these two opportunities should I accept?” Based on the belief that we all have the answer within ourselves, the process utilizes trained students who ask open and honest questions of the focus person wrestling with their decision.
