2018-2019 GOALS

Global Awareness-I wish to use my STEP money to either complete a study abroad or a Buck-I-Serve trip to foreign country during the spring/summer of 2019.  I want to spend time fully immersed in a different culture where I get to engage with the locals and learn about what not only makes us different, but very similar.  I am currently applying to various global opportunities now.

Original Inquiry-As I advance further in my Public Affairs major I hope to take classes that challenge me to examine the effectiveness of Nonprofit Organizations and what strategies they employ to most effectively serve the people around them.

Academic Enrichment-I believe that my major and two minors will make me a very well rounded student.  Adding a Business minor, a Professional Writing minor, and a specialization in Nonprofit management to my Public Affairs major will challenge me in many different ways and give me a large set of skills to use to make an impact on society.

Leadership Development-Being a part of Mount Scholars has given me a unique opportunity to develop my my leadership abilities in my second year.  I get to assist many first years as they adjust to life at college. I am learning very intentional leadership as well as how to bring together people who have very different backgrounds and life experiences.

Service Engagement-My scholars program requires me to complete 75 hours of service during this school year.  I am choosing to complete my service hours by assisting with youth ministry at St. Christopher’s church in Grandview.
