Designing Your Life (DYL) No.1

This design thinking workshop now open for sophomores, juniors, and seniors helps you examine how to connect the dots between your academic interests, your values, and your career aspirations. You will leave the workshop with the tools you need to begin thinking clearly about your transition into the professional sphere and with a "Person Value Proposition" that will enable you to communicate successfully with prospective employers about your strengths and experiences.

Your attendance at this workshop also satisfies a requirement for the Global Professional Skills (GPS) Program.

About the GPS Program

The Global Professional Skills (GPS) program launched in the spring of 2017 as a signature program for AUP. It provides you with the opportunity to sharpen critically important skills and develop your own personal narrative throughout college that will benefit your life post-AUP.

If you are an undergraduate, degree-seeking student, you will be encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities during your time at AUP — whether it's volunteering with an international NGO, interning with your dream fashion designer, or participating in one of AUP's many clubs. You generate a co-curricular record (CCR) that registers all of your activities from semester to semester and connects them with your transcripts to boost your career prospects after graduation.
