Over the past twenty-five years, Echoing Green has uncovered the common experiences that led young emerging professionals to meaningful, high-impact work. Accordingly, Tulane will be offering a workshop series aimed at helping students identify the career paths that are right for them and good for the world. These workshops, offered by trained “Work on Purpose” facilitators and based on scholarship from the world’s top research institutions, will help students explore and practice these principles. Each session will take place on Thursday from 12:30 to 1:45 pm at the CELT office (310 Richardson Building). Lunch is provided, and attendees should register at least 24 hours in advance.
