G.O.A.L.S.


Global Awareness

Global Awareness involves being knowledgeable in issues involving the world. To fulfill this G.O.A.L., I can take courses like Global Climate Change and Political Geography to enrich my awareness of the world around me. Also, I will be involved with a foreign language while taking Spanish courses. Furthermore, educating myself about the world by keeping up to date with current events will keep me aware of the world in which I live.


Original Inquiry

Original Inquiry involves the research process. Ohio State is a research institution and prominently encourages research among all majors and programs. I can meet this G.O.A.L. by getting involved in research within my field of study. I can connect with faculty and work with them on projects and research opportunities. I will also take many courses that require laboratory components that will accompany what is being learned in lectures.


Academic Enrichment

Academic Enrichment involves taking a challenging and meaningful curriculum. A way I can achieve this is by taking classes that interest me but also are at the honors level. It is also important to take general education (GE) requirements. These classes allow me to be a well-rounded, educated individual. Furthermore, GE courses allow me to make interdisciplinary connections between my major and other areas of knowledge.


Leadership Development

Leadership Development deals with being an active leader in and out of the classroom. I can complete this by getting involved in student organizations. Also, participating in University Band can lead to me being a leader in that ensemble. Research and being employed with University Catering provide many opportunities for leadership as well. I can also be a leader by demonstrating proper academic conduct in regards to my school work.


Service Engagement

Service Engagement includes improving the society and community in which we live. This G.O.A.L. can be met by volunteering with student organizations on campus that want to improve our world. Being knowledgeable in national and global affairs is also important to serving the community. Doing your civil duty like voting can help to promote a betterment in our city and country as well. It is imperative that we give back to our community in any way we can.
