What to expect

Everyone gets stuck sometimes. Whether you're questioning your career path, struggling to get started on a goal or looking for a new perspective, Unstuck gives you a space to reflect, experiment and take action. 

Through interactive activities and conversations with other students, you'll explore topics such as imposter syndrome, procrastination, career exploration and relationship-building. Each session is designed to help you make progress through small, manageable steps.

"Most students who come to Unstuck are feeling overwhelmed by a big question or goal that seems impossible to tackle. One said they 'felt super stuck, like a glue trap.' Unstuck's frameworks, experiments, and approaches encourage the practice of leading with curiosity to iterate your way through life."
