Led by Collier Lumpkin, associate director of career services for graduate school, the workshop encouraged participants to tap into their creativity and reflect deeply on their aspirations. Through hands-on vision board exercises and meaningful networking opportunities, attendees were guided to envision clear paths toward their futures and build lasting relationships to support their journeys.

“Our goal was to create a space where our Elon alumnae and interns could reflect, dream and reconnect—with themselves and with one another. Vision boarding becomes more than an activity; it was a way to affirm our shared journeys and imagine what’s possible,” said Lumpkin. “There’s real neuroscience behind it, too: when we visualize our goals with clarity and purpose, we activate the brain in ways that make those goals more achievable. That’s the power of intentionality.”

The interactive session created a welcoming environment where alumnae shared insights from their own career paths while student interns articulated their dreams and goals. This collaborative exchange empowered interns with practical advice and alumnae with fresh perspectives.

“The Women of Elon vision board event proved to be a great way to bring together current students and alumni in NYC. I had a lovely time speaking to all of the women around the room about who they are and their vision for themselves in the future,” said JeNaye Alston ’18.

By setting intentional goals and visually mapping out their aspirations, participants left the workshop feeling energized and equipped to navigate the next steps in their personal and professional lives. The event highlighted the power of community and the importance of envisioning a purposeful future.

“It was a lovely and creative way to meet other Elon community members, converse over a craft, and take a break from constant screens to reconnect to my goals and dreams,” said Lauren Fisher ’17.

WE Envision’s success in New York showcased the importance of meaningful networking opportunities between Elon students and alumni. Event attendees were encouraged to connect on LinkedIn to continue to support each other’s professional growth.
