masterclass DESCRIPTION
In this masterclass, we hit the reset button—not on curriculum, but on what it means to be human in education. Steve Ward reminds us that education is more than academics. It’s about helping students discover who they are and why they matter. Purpose-driven education is a process: it begins with inspiration, builds with desire, deepens with motivation, and comes alive through passion. This masterclass invites you to reflect on your own purpose and equips you with tools to help students uncover theirs. You’ll explore what it means to give, show, connect, and love - and how those ideas can shape a meaningful life and career.

Student Motivation and Marketing
For years you have forged partnerships, created pathways, and developed programs…yet we still have empty seats in our classes. While we balance preparing students for both higher education completion and the workforce, it is time to shift our messaging. If you seek broader institutional engagement in your outreach, enrollment management, student recruitment, and marketing efforts, then this masterclass is for you. It’s time to become their first choice.
You can't afford to wait another year. Register your institution or "Team of 3".
