Skills for a Life of Significance and Service

VISION: In academic, vocational, and professional endeavors, knowledge joins practice through the application of the skills. These skills are inextricably linked to one another and cannot be acquired in isolation. Students will practice these skills rigorously and extensively across the curriculum in the context of progressively more challenging problems, projects, and standards of performance. When integrated with a breadth of knowledge and moral commitments, these skills can become enduring habits transferable to the evolving contexts of work and life.

OUTCOMES:

Inquiry: Retrieve and interpret information and scholarships in particular contexts to formulate constructive questions.
Argumentation: Employ argumentation strategies by constructing, analyzing, and evaluating discursive and quantitative reasoning to form independent judgments.
Aesthetics: Appreciate and interpret aesthetic experience through the production or interpretation of material, performative, or literary works.
Communication: Demonstrate effective written, oral, and visual communication skills and sensitivities.
