The Manresa Program

“What do I want to do with my life?” “What does it mean to be successful?” “Can I have career success and happiness?”

Many students arrive on the Heights asking these age-old questions, many times feeling pressure to figure it all out quickly – what to study, what kind of job it will produce – and these questions continue as goals are narrowed down – will this career fulfill me, whatever that means? Although it can feel overwhelming, Le Moyne’s nationally recognized four-year Manresa program has a reputation for helping you figure it all out.

Manresa’s Superpower

Manresa’s superpower is connection – to friends, the College community, employers and, most importantly, yourself.

As a Manresa fellow, you can expect:

• The fellowship of a small group with six to eight fellow students and two mentors
• Greater clarity about your values
• Focused time to determine your goals
• A guaranteed internship placement
• Career counseling
• Thorough job interview practice
• A fantastic resume entry

In your small groups, you each tackle big questions about your future career goals and what matters most to you in life. You then come together to process your reflections and ideas. Each group is assigned two Le Moyne mentors to guide and support, but the peer-to-peer support encourages powerful perspectives.

Manresa Takes Time

In a dynamic, bustling world, Manresa attempts to support the whole Le Moyne student: It provides a safe space to figure things out—to sit, write and think. It provides meaningful professional and networking connections. And, above all else, it helps you become, well, you.
