Provide deadlines for each goal.

Provide a list of 2-3 people or departments that can assist you in meeting those goals along with their contact information and the date you will connect with them.

Choose one (1) PREPARE question:

PREPARE: Imagine you have a friend or family member who is interested in attending college but is nervous because college is a new experience for them. (Perhaps they are currently in high school, or perhaps they have worked for many years and haven’t been in school for a long time.) Based on what you’ve learned in this course, provide three (3) bits of advice for them as they start their academic journey.

PREPARE: Imagine we are 20 years down the road at an alumni banquet for Park University students. You are the lucky recipient of an alumni award for outstanding service to Park University. A current Park student will be reading aloud a brief statement about your character and contributions to Park over the past twenty years. Write out that statement for the student to read as they introduce you.
