Do you have a purpose, a cause, a belief? Too often we focus on what we are doing or how we are doing it. Instead, we should be focusing on the “why”, our purpose. Isn’t that what college is about? Answering these questions: Who am I? Do I have a mission or purpose in my life? Why am I in college? What kind of person do I want to become? Through this process, you will explore your values, identify what is important to you and develop a Purposeful Living Statement.

Are you in charge of your own destiny? As the environment around you changes, you can either attribute success and failure to things you have control over, or to forces outside your influence. Which orientation you choose has a bearing on your long-term success. People who develop an internal locus of control believe that they are responsible for their own success. Those with an external locus of control believe that external forces, like luck, determine their outcomes. Workshop 1 will focus on goal setting and Workshop 2 will focus more on locus of control theory.
*This workshop will be recorded by presenter for academic purposes only. The recording will only be shown to select faculty members within the College of Education.

"It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?" --Henry David Thoreau
It can be stressful to look at all the things you have on your plate. You may be thinking, “how can I better prioritize?” The important question is: are all the things you are doing important and do they add value to your life? This workshop will help you define your priorities and figure out what you value most, in order to find true balance.

“Take a Stand!” strives to turn ordinary bystanders into active bystanders. It does this by empowering and enabling them with skills necessary to intervene in situations that have the potential to become dangerous. Working through steps to notice the event, interpret the problem, and assume personal responsibility, active bystanders learn how to utilize skills appropriate to the situation safely, effectively, and early to prevent escalation. Through an interactive presentation that includes Power Point slides, scenario discussions, and group activities, Take a Stand! engages students and encourages them to apply these concepts to their own lives.
