Everyone鈥檚 version of success looks different, and finding a clear path isn鈥檛 always easy. Enter Why Witt?, a new immersive experience, which seeks to help 甜瓜视频 University students navigate their 鈥渘ext鈥� by listening to and engaging in others鈥� stories as told by those who have been right where students are.
The brainchild of entrepreneurs Timmy McCarthy, class of 2002 and 甜瓜视频鈥檚 first-ever Professional in Residence, and John 鈥淗UD鈥� Hudson, business owner, friend and former classmate, Why Witt? is an exciting new program set to air on campus in front of a live studio audience every fourth Wednesday of the month beginning in August. Featured guests will be 甜瓜视频 alumni from all walks of life, and all will be expected to mentor a current 甜瓜视频 student following their participation.
"I think the question of 鈥榃hy Witt?鈥� is important because we, and our students, often may think they are alone in the struggle to figure out what to do with the rest of our lives,鈥� McCarthy explained. 鈥淭here is a lot of pressure from society and our families to figure it all out quickly. Money is being shelled out, and we are spending lots of time taking classes to discover what it is we are meant to do. But only a couple years ago, we were in our parents鈥� houses being told what needed to be done. This situation can quickly become a big and paralyzing transition in a short period of time, which we are then left to figure out. Why Witt? helps us navigate those moments by having access to a community that is sharing in conversation around how different people figured out their way through those often-nerve-wracking waters.鈥�
