In his latest book, TCNJ professor of sociology Tim Clydesdale urges colleges to ask their students, “how might you lead a meaningful life?” This latest release entitled, “The Purposeful Graduate: Why Colleges Must Talk to Students About Vocation,” demonstrates how impactful the exploration of these ideas can be for students. Professor Clydesdale adds a new factor to the national discussion of the value of college, saying, “The very purpose of college itself (is) to educate and graduate thoughtful, purposeful and globally aware citizen leaders.”
