Designing Your AUP (DYA)
Design thinking is about solving problems. It began as a tool used by engineers, but is now recognized as a useful method for tackling all sorts of problems. The “problem” addressed in this workshop is: How can I align my academic and co-curricular interests with my values; and how can I ensure that I look back on how I spent my time at university with no regrets?
The Designing Your AUP (DYA) workshop helps students make connections between their values and their vision for their university experience. Students will leave this workshop focused on making the most out of their time at AUP.
Completion of this workshop is a requirement of the Global Professional Skills Program (GPS) and appears on the official co-curricular record (CCR).
This workshop is best for first year students, but is open to all.
