Time: 4:20 p.m. - 5:10 p.m.

Students, when receiving advice about program and career choices, hear again and again that they need to “find their passion”, but they don’t really understand what that means. They can all tell you that their passion is something they love to do, but that alone doesn’t help them choose a path. How can we help them gain greater clarity? This presentation examines what passion for the work really means and how we and our students can connect our passions with our education and work. Along the way we’ll look at the connection between problem solving and passion, how to use your passion to create a context for your learning, and why what frustrates you is as important as what you love.
