Jour101 UJ Foundations

UJ Foundations is a one-credit course designed especially for first-year students to help them make a successful adjustment to college and to provide time for personal reflection and planning for their educational journey.

Students in UJ Foundations are given opportunity to “look inward” in order to discover and confirm their own talents, strengths, and goals, and to develop their sense of vocation. Students will explore their personal strengths through StrengthsQuest, the nationally recognized strengths inventory, as well as navigate FOCUS, an online career research tool. UJ Foundations classes are designed to encourage class discussion and participation.

Through class activities and assignments, students in UJ Foundations will also become acquainted with the many opportunities at University of Jamestown. They will attend a city-wide block party, become prepared to use the equipment at the Foss Wellness Center, review research skills in the Raugust Library, participate in the annual leadership conference, and attend a chapel service together in the historic Voorhees Chapel.
