Invented Here | Jumping Into Careers with Ellise LaMotte, Tufts University

Ellise LaMotte oversees Tufts’ weeklong spring break program JUMP-IN, which allows first-year students to try on a career before committing to it. The goal is clarity, and students feeling “this isn’t for me” counts as a win just as much as students saying “this is it.” On this episode of Invented Here, Ellise shares how JUMP-IN came to be, how they measure the program’s success, and how the program can be adapted to other campuses.

This episode is a part of Invented Here, a podcast series from LearningWell Magazine and the LearningWell Coalition featuring stories of innovation in learner-centered education that fosters life-long wellbeing.
