Global Awareness: To achieve this goal, I will participate in a study abroad program where I will be able to immerse myself into another culture and also learn about their values and traditions while also receiving an education. In addition, I will increase my knowledge of other cultures by taking courses that will help increase my global awareness.
Original Inquiry: In order to achieve this goal I will participate in research that relates to my major of biology, and hopefully be able to find a research project that may relate to forensics in some way. To prepare myself for such research, I will do all I can to understand the work that is being done, its purpose, and any necessary background information, so that the experience can benefit all parties mutually.
Academic Enrichment: To increase my academic enrichment, I will not only be a diligent student in the classroom, but also outside of it. I will participate in programs that will enhance my understanding of what I’m learning in the classroom and further engage me to go deeper into the content. Through programs such as study abroad, I will be able to use my knowledge in other areas outside of the standard classroom setting.
Leadership Development: In order to develop my leadership skills, I will participate in extracurricular activities and decide which ones are the most important to me and try and work my way up to hold a leadership position. Through having experience as a leader in this type of activity, I will be better prepared for future career opportunities.
Service Engagement: To achieve the goal of service engagement, I will participate in service opportunities that are beneficial not only to who the service is being performed to, but also myself in increasing my awareness of others and help better educate myself. To do so, I will pick opportunities that may relate to my field of study, something related to biological sciences. Through these opportunities, I will further my own knowledge and understanding of concepts that would not be attainable in the classroom.
