You’ll identify your strengths using CliftonStrengths®, a research-based assessment tool – and then build on them. Explore academic and experiential activities. Increase your financial literacy. Examine potential career paths. And with the guidance of expert advisors – including certified strengths coaches and financial educators – you’ll be empowered to achieve your goals in college – and throughout your life.
