G.O.A.L.S.

Activities that I have been involved with in the past, activities I am currently involved with and activities I plan to pursue, fit in the the Honors and Scholars G.O.A.L.S. They are as follows:

Global Awareness:

This past May I traveled to India as part of the International Affairs Scholars study abroad trip. This was an eye-opening experience for me that I was lucky enough to experience with my fellow International Affairs scholars. Even though we learned about India during the semester, I learned infinitely more things about India by being able to experience it firsthand. Through this trip I was able to develop an appreciation for diversity and uniqueness between cultures.

Original Inquiry:

Through an organization I am involved with, Net Impact, I am on a project board to install piezoelectric tiles on campus. Developing this project has required research on the tiles and the impact they will have on campus. I have also learned a lot about other forms of green energy through the process.

Academic Enrichment:

Through another organization that I am involved in, Risk Management Association, it is our purpose to inform students on the importance of risk. I have learned from professionals who are currently in the field speak about how risk affects their every day life. What I have learned from being apart of this association I could not get out of my coursework just yet.

Leadership Development:

As far as leadership development goes, I am the treasurer for the Risk Management Association. Participating on an executive board has giving me the experience of the difficulties and the rewards of leading an organization.

Service Engagement:

Currently I am attending events as a social coach for the TOPS program. The TOPS program is a program to help transition students with developmental or intellectual disabilities transition into post-secondary life. Next semester I plan to be a tutor for the TOPS program where I will be tutoring for 3 hours every week.
