As a humanities scholar in a world focused on external success, you might feel pressure to justify how your interests will lead to a “practical” career. When others don’t seem to understand where you’re going, it’s even more important for you to be clear on who you are, and the impact you want to make.

In this interactive session, Cristi Cooke, creator of the Pillars of Genius method, invites you to explore how your interest in the humanities, your purpose, and your unique genius can come together to shape a career that fits who you truly are. Whether you’re pursuing a humanities career or applying your insights elsewhere, you’ll leave with new clarity about your unique value—and the language to express it.

Whether you’re considering graduate school, entering the job market, or simply seeking to better understand your academic and career identity, this presentation will help you move from asking, “What can I do with my degree?” to declaring, “Here’s what I uniquely bring to the world.”
