Journey Mappers Podcast

The Journey Mappers Podcast — the official podcast of The OU Pledge — is your guide to building a life that works for you. Whether you’re exploring majors, preparing for the next step in your career or redesigning your future, this podcast offers insights and inspiration to help you navigate a life with confidence and creativity. Listen in as our featured guests explore topics such as:

  • Internship and Career Chats
  • Employer Connections
  • Student Successes
  • Inspiring Stories

As part of the Strategic Vision 2030, The OU Pledge is the university’s commitment to provide undergraduates with opportunities to enhance their academic knowledge through experience-based learning such as internships, research, service learning and community engagement. This storytelling series, presented and hosted by Career and Life Design Center leadership and coaches, explores how students, alumni, faculty and staff work with employers and the community to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

Each episode dives into the twists and turns of our guests’ journeys that led to moments of growth, change and discovery. Listeners are encouraged to start where they are, reframe challenges and take intentional action toward their goals, becoming empowered to explore career pathways and build networks that will shape their futures.

The Journey Mappers Podcast series is also available on the Career and Life Design Center’s YouTube page, or wherever you get your podcasts, and hopes to inspire every Golden Grizzly to design a life of purpose and possibility, supported by The OU Pledge.
