Ep 188 Unlocking Purpose Through Encore Education at The Tower Fellows Program
In episode 188 you'll meet Megan Frisque, the director of the Tower Fellows Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Megan shares valuable insights into how the Tower Fellows program helps individuals in midlife find purpose and fulfillment through an immersive encore education experience.
Here are three key discussion points from my conversation with Megan:
1️⃣ Intergenerational Learning and Community Engagement: The Tower Fellows program brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, including couples and those with varying interests and experiences. Through group projects, mentorship, and engaging with traditional students, fellows have the opportunity to interact with and learn from different generations, fostering a sense of camaraderie and expanding their perspectives.
2️⃣ Personal Growth and Reflection: Megan emphasizes the importance of taking the time to reflect on one's own path and future, as well as the value of being mentored and mentoring others. The program provides fellows with the space to explore their interests, take classes, and engage with faculty research, fostering personal growth and a sense of purpose in midlife.
3️⃣ Culminating Impact: Following a two-semester experience, the Tower Fellows program culminates in a ceremony where fellows share their experiences, and receive a certificate. Fellows have expressed how the program positively impacted their personal growth and future plans, emphasizing the significance of encore education in navigating the next steps in life and making a meaningful impact in the world.
My Main Takeaway:
Megan Frisque's journey in higher education and the Tower Fellows program underscores the transformative power of encore education in midlife. It's a reminder that by engaging with educational opportunities and forming strong community connections, you can discover new purpose, gain personal fulfillment, and contribute to communities in significant ways.
