CGF 194a Being the Change
3 college credits
College of Global Futures presents: Being the Change. What does it mean to be the change - not just to react to the world, but to actively create purpose in your life? In a time of rapid change - climate crisis, inequality, polarization, and technological disruption - learning to be the change is more important than ever. But change doesn’t just happen to us - it begins with us. This course is designed to help you do just that. Together with a community of fellow changemakers, you’ll reflect on who you are, face the challenges of today’s world, and explore how to live with clarity and intention.
You won’t just learn alone - you’ll learn with and from each other. Through interactive media and tools, powerful stories, AI, and hands-on practice, you’ll explore five timeless patterns of changemaking: Identity, Ignorance, Responsibility, Presence, and Service.
You’ll finish by articulating a Future Vision that makes your purpose concrete and actionable. Along the way, you’ll discover that creating purpose together is one of the best ways to future-proof your career. Employers today are looking for changemakers: people who can adapt, lead, and collaborate across differences. This course equips you to thrive - not just professionally, but personally and collectively.
