Memento Mori—Latin for "remember you must die"—is not meant to instill fear but to inspire reflection on one's purpose, authenticity, and gratitude. This course invites you to explore what a meaningful life looks like for you through personal reflection, philosophical inquiry, psychological research, biographical stories, career theory, and community engagement. We will explore a variety of theories and perspectives on living a purposeful life, and in partnership with a community organization, we will examine how an awareness of mortality can deepen this understanding. By considering what death teaches us about living fully, you will explore how to design a life of intention, impact, and fulfillment. This course fosters open dialogue and self-reflection on profound topics, including purpose, death, and legacy, in a supportive and thoughtful environment.
