theory into my practice, I
will intentionally
continue to grow in this
area. I will work to
incorporate specific
theories into the
activities and programs I
create. I will continue to
be critical about these
theories, and consider
the limitations about
each theory I use. I also
intend to broaden whom I
share student
development theories
and ideologies with. I
intend to engage in
conversation with other
professionals, family, and
friends whom do not
work in student
development about these
concepts. When
collaborating with

conversations about
