Goal Setting

​It's time to set some goals! We use SMART goals as our standard and each year we set 3: one through this semester, one to graduation and one post graduation goal. They do not have to be academic in nature, just goals that you aim to accomplish. These 3 goals can then become the 3 points of your self-evaluation letter to the foundation.

Session 4 Be a Leader: How to Change People ...

Join us for discussion with Mayor Dan Pope
​Wednesday at 11AM ONLY

Lunch: barque from Beef O'Brady's

Principles from this section:

• Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
• Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.
• Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
• Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
• Let the other person save face.
• Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.”
• Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
• Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
• Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

This is for all those determined students who have found their passion in life, and are going to college to build that career they’ve always wanted. You’ve decided you’re going to achieve academic and career success no matter the cost, and if that means putting your schooling above all else, enduring long nights, and losing touch with the people around you, then so be it. Don’t be too hasty, though. While that’s a great attitude to have, you shouldn’t neglect your social life.
It’s not slacking to block some time off to get to know your classmates. After all, another opportunity that comes with college is the people you’ll meet, and it’s important that you don’t neglect that aspect. It’s not just a friendly recommendation, or a stress-buster. It will help you in your future career. Facebook doesn’t count. You need to set some time aside from your busy schedule and develop a real-life social network.

Here are four reasons why:
