My personal learning plan for the 2016-2017 academic year includes the following goals and
activities.
1. Leadership
I will develop my leadership skills by participating in the Honors class, Growing the
Leader in You in the fall. I plan on learning more about myself as a leader in the
course and reflecting on how I can apply this information to my work in the Honors
Program and in life.
o Demonstration of acquisition of skill: I will write a reflective essay on how
this class will apply to future leadership endeavors and the discoveries I made
and the connection we shared with each other over the year.
2. Global Citizenship
I will take part in a trip to France over spring break with students from the dance and
art departments. I plan on learning some basic French in order to communicate with
French citizens and feel even more connected to the new culture I will be surrounded
by.
o Demonstration of acquisition of skill: I will create a PowerPoint presentation
that highlights some of the sites I saw and different experiences I had on the
trip. In the presentation, I will also include examples of the French I learned
and how I was able to utilize this newly acquired language during the trip.
I will attend a cultural night or lecture on campus that provides me with new insight
on a culture that I am not familiar with.
o Demonstration of acquisition of skill: I will write a short reflection on what I
learned about the culture and the topics covered. I will also reflect on how my
view of this culture has been altered and some of the interesting and impactful
information I learned.
3. Research
I will conduct research on a topic relating to dance history. I will either generate a
creative project or write a paper on a specific topic and submit a thesis to the
Undergraduate Research Symposium.
o Demonstration of acquisition of skill: I will submit a video of myself
presenting my research.
I will complete further research on a location, event, dance form, or piece of art that
intrigued me from my trip to Paris.
o Demonstration of acquisition of skill: I will provide a brief research paper that
provides me further knowledge on a chosen topic from the trip. This paper
will give me the opportunity to practice and utilize my information literacy
skills.
