Please outline how your experience will meet your selected objectives?:
1.  Students will create 3 alternative life plans for the next 5 years that highlight key experiences they wish to pursue. These include personal, social, and professional experiences.
2. The class will encourage students to prototype experiences by joining the activities of certain communities on a trial basis, volunteer their time, or talk to students who are involved in these communities. Through these activities, students will find something they are interested in, make new contacts, and hopefully become active participants of various activities on campus.
3.  The class will help students explore their personal values, college view, and life view. This will help them seek affiliations, connections, like-minded individuals, and experiences that align with their self-reflections. Relationships that bring together people of similar interests, values, and passions lead to active and thriving communities.
4. The course seeks to help students figure out what activities engage them the most and find ways to create more of such opportunities. This encourages them to prioritize meaningful activities over others that simply keep them busy and stressed out. Through better time management and prioritization, students can handle their academic load while leading a rich and meaningful life.
