Welcome to the Purpose Lab!

The Purpose Lab, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Belle Liang, is located in Boston College's Lynch School of Education and Human Development. We specialize in youth purpose intervention and research, and are currently launching a web-based application that facilitates purpose learning and development among college students in a digital setting. In our lab, we also explore topics such as mentorship, gender, social oppression and privilege, and whole person education.
