SWC Wellbeing Themes

Fall 2024

Connecting With Our Purpose

Purpose can lie at the confluence of many passions and experiences, like the skills and strengths you possess, the problems you want to solve, the role models you admire, the relationships you cultivate, and the story you tell yourself about your life. Our fall theme of Connecting With Our Purpose invites you to examine that which you instinctively value most. Dartmouth can be a garden ripe with opportunities for connection, if you know how to recognize the seeds of passion, weed out that which does not serve you, cultivate that which does, and enjoy and share the fruits of your labor. So, stick with us this term as we explore character strengths, journaling prompts, student experiences, and peer support skills that can enable you to deepen your understanding of your purpose.

For more on this theme, check out our SWC Reflections Blog every week, and stay tuned to our weekly newsletter and Insta account for weekly resources, tips, and reflections.
