Guide to Student Development Goals Posted on October 9th, 2009 by Barb Larson Taylor

Recommendation from the Student Life Task Force:

Develop a guide that identifies and helps students work towards the realization of developmental goals.

Additional explanation:

This could be an expanded use of the Pathways Book developed by the Career Center to be used across campus and among all class years. The goal is to have a tool to serve as a guide to integrate students’ education with their physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual health through the use of college support resources and an integrated approach to over-arching elements of student life (e.g. learning, vocational/career discernment, mentoring, and wellness). Implementation would include an on-going communication plan to educate current and prospective students, parents, faculty, and staff about the goals and strategies.

This recommendation was placed in the Personal Growth and Development Initiatives Strategic Framework Substantive Category using the language:

Develop a guide that helps students work toward the realization of developmental goals.

This recommendation was placed is Tier 2 and is being monitored by the Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs.
