To complete your Winding Path, look through your in-class "discernment" reflections (personal reflections), your "purposeful life" circle diagram and notes, your journal entries from your team activity, your letter to your 25-year-old self, and any other reflective inputs you find meaningful.
Bring this to class with you no later than Tuesday, December 4.

The Windy Path
Draw the Windy Path that represents your four years in college. What campus programs, resources and opportunities will be available to you as you move through your Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years? Which of these will further your personal, professional or vocational goals? Which will help prepare you to live a happy life? Which do you want to participate in for other reasons? Draw them out along your Windy Path.
Are there other accomplishments you’d like to make during your time here at NDNU? Draw those along your Windy Path as well.
As you consider what to include in your Path, ask a variety of members of the NDNU campus community what they think. Ask a respected coach or professor... ask a mentor, a librarian, a staff member with whom you developed a connection, a student who has been on campus longer than you. Ask the director of a graduate program you’re interested in, or a person whose job or career you think might suit you.
Think big. Be creative. Remember that the line of your Path is just a way to help you focus... to help you begin to organize your thoughts. Feel free to build some flexibility into it... after all, at the end of the day it’s really up for debate: are you following the line, or is the line following you?
Here are some things you might include in your Windy Path, but don’t be limited by these!! Alternative Spring Break! Bonner program! Campus employment with the Center for Spirituality
! Campus employment with the Dorothy Stang Center or other office
! Community Engagement courses! Capstone course! Founders’ Week (help with preparations)
! Internships! Model Arab League! Musical, Dance or Theater performance group
! O-Team! RA! Student club leadership! Student Mentor for Freshman Seminar! Study Abroad! Teaching Assistant for a professor! Summer employment back at home
