The Courage to Choose

The Courage to Choose: Foundations of Agency is an experiential, multidisciplinary class that helps students make important choices for their work, creative pursuits, and personal lives.

Many talented people remain unable to act in accordance with their highest values, finding themselves tracked into jobs that kill their spirit, unsure of how to build the things they most want to build—whether artistic projects, companies, or families. Traditional education doesn’t prepare them for the most important decisions they will have to make.

The Courage to Choose employs a See/Judge/Act framework to familiarize students with key concepts, help them develop an understanding of themselves and their environment, and give a process for decision-making that engages their whole being—intellectual, spiritual, incarnational—and can be broadly applicable throughout their lives.
