DESIGNING YOUR FAMILY LIFE - Reframing College (and Your Kids!)

Featuring Dave Evans and Kathy Davies

Stanford Life Design Lab

Thurs Jan 14

7pm–8:15pm PST

Online Zoom Webinar: Register to Attend (Registration closes at 5pm the day of the event) 

Dave Evans, co-founder of Stanford’s Life Design Lab, and Kathy Davies, its managing director, will guide parents through the design thinking process to inspire our pre-college kids to confidently design their own futures in a changing world. They will share design thinking strategies that will help our students reframe thinking, problem solve like designers and apply these strategies to planning college (and beyond). 

Mark your calendars for Common Ground’s new Winter/Spring Season Lineup.
