Identity as student at a predominantly white institution

Recognize how their identity impacts their experience at a predominantly white institution of higher education, as well as acquire tools to use in order to navigate successfully through their schooling.

Interpret expectations to gain a better understanding of what is expected of them and how it can be delivered. Expectations may be communicated in a variety of ways, making the interpretation of them particularly difficult. Demonstrate ability to ask for clarity when needed.

Communicating cross-culturally

Learn about communication and the different forms communication can take. Reflect on the impact of culture on forms and styles of communication. Often times learning to communicate involves proactively seeking understanding and seeking relationship across cultural boundaries. This can mean both macro (large in scale) and micro (small) level cultures.

Supportive relationships may look different for each individual and thus this outcome involves self reflection – they must explore these relationships in terms of personal support, academic support and support in other areas of their life.

Gain practice and experience in exploring their own personal leadership qualities and developing leadership skills.  Recognize their leadership style, what they do well as a leader, and ways to develop those skills. Demonstrate practical and tangible goal setting, including the identification of personal, academic and social goals.  Examine the accomplishments needed to reach those goals and understand what knowledge skills and abilities get you where you want to go.

Pathways – developing leadership opportunities

Explore potential leadership pathways in the OSU community and beyond. Employ current positions, relationships and resources in this process.  Identify steps needs for pursuing these leadership development opportunities.

 
Offices and departments on campus

Recognize offices and departments as resources available on campus. Demonstrate ability to (a) identify the need to use resources (yourself or a friend),(b) find applicable and available resources, and (c) talk about how to access them when needed.

People and mentors as resources

Recognize people and mentors as resources available on campus. Demonstrate knowledge of how to identify people and mentors as resources and cultivate these relationships.

Financial Management skills and resources

Gain information and knowledge about financial issues relevant to navigating academic career including bank accounts, school accounts, financial aid, internships, loans, debt, and scholarships. Develop financial skills for managing money on a budget and reducing debt accumulation.
