LifeQuest

LifeQuest is a program developed to do two main things: (1) To enhance traditional student awareness of personal calling and (2) to improve students’ preparedness for their chosen career paths. New students are introduced to LifeQuest in either BU 101: Belhaven Basics (required class for freshmen) or Christian Interpretation of Life (required class for transfers). We begin this process by having students take the CliftonStrengths for Students assessment.

Throughout a student’s tenure at Belhaven, he/she has touchpoints in required courses that allow reflection on his/her unique top five strengths and the concept of “personal calling.” The goal is that by the time a student graduates from Belhaven, he/she will have a clear understanding of personal strengths and calling as they relate to a chosen career path. This journey culminates in our Kingdom Life course, which is required of all seniors.
