OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these
outcomes on the syllabi (the words goals or curriculum areas may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your
evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the additional experiences
column, name additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of
things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome.
Do not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the descriptive notes
column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include evidence
that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation lettersanything that shows that someone has
determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your evidence to
include in your Portfolio.

Outcome Target class Additional Experiences Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice
1. Student will demonstrate autonomy and HDF 190 In HDF 190, I was a Leadership Ambassador for my learning contract. On April 8th and 22nd I went
a minimized need for approval to the Ryan center and talked to prospective students about the Leadership Institute and how it had
a positive impact on me and my University of Rhode Island experience in various ways, such as
friends, networking, and self-reflection. I showed autonomy by seeking out students on my own, and
while I was working in conjunction with other students I actively avoided shielding myself from
potential students by working directly alongside them. I learned that self-sufficiency is what I felt
most comfortable with, and that while I valued groups for their fresh perspectives and different
dynamics I feel at my performing peak when alone. (EVIDENCE 1)
2. Student will demonstrate personal, HDF 190 In HDF 190, I was a Leadership Ambassador for my learning contract. On April 8th and 22nd I went
organizational, and academic examples to the Ryan center and talked to prospective students about the Leadership Institute and how it had
of self-discipline a positive impact on me and my University of Rhode Island experience in various ways, such as
friends, networking, and self-reflection. I showed self-discipline by keeping myself focused on talking
only to incoming freshman and not my peers, despite their actions to the contrary. I also
demonstrated discipline by being early, keeping myself professional, and keeping myself available
and useful for as long as possible. I grew from this experience by demonstrating to myself that I do
not need a reward or punishment to keep myself to my own standards. (EVIDENCE 1)
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 190 At the FLITE retreat for HDF 190, I maintained an even composure while sharing personal
manage emotions experiences with a new group of people. We shared intimate details of our lives with one another,
while also requiring us to keep calm enough to synthesize our strengths into out stories. I tied my
strengths of analytic and perspective to my family and personal history. I used my Individualization
strength to find meaning in others shared stories. I found value in other peoples unique stories and
backgrounds, and managed my emotions in order to connect their histories to their strengths.
(EVIDENCE 2)
4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of
stress management methods

6. Student will express a personal code of HDF 190 In HDF 190, the second forum post on Sakai allowed me to see my code of leadership. I believe
leadership / membership ethics that, as a leader, I must keep myself focused on the goal of my organization, and ensure that my
team members are similarly focused. As a leader, I must also be able to connect well with my team
members. Both of these were key aspects to how I acted as a leader in my volunteer organization.
Our overall goal was to educate, which is what we oriented ourselves towards every morning. As a
group we connected with each other, so we knew how to flow into one anothers speeches.
(EVIDENCE 3)
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 190 In HDF 190, we played a space game in class. Each individual was assigned a character to play,
personal code of ethics that had both positive and negative aspects. Players were given the freedom to tell as much as they
wanted about their character. The overall goal of our group was to establish a colony in space, but
each individual was also given a drive to be a colonist. I was honest by telling my group about my
negative trait HIV to ensure we organized a better group of astronauts. As a result, I sacrificed
my own personal goal, but we achieved our greater purpose, which was the more ethical path. This
relates to my code of ethics, because I value the overall goal. By sacrificing myself for the good of
our colony, and succeeding at our group goal, I demonstrated how I value honesty to the group
purpose over personal achievement. (EVIDENCE 4)
8. Student will express a personal values HDF 190 In HDF 190, I took the VIAMe character survey. I found I value judgement, perspective, prudence,
statement fairness, and creativity. My top value, judgement, means I value exploring issues from multiple
angles. My second top value, perspective, means I value viewing the world through other peoples
eyes. My third top value, prudence, means I value caution in making decisions and being deliberate.
My fourth top value, fairness, means I value unbiased decisions and equality between people. My
fifth top value, creativity, means I value producing different ways to think and act. (EVIDENCE 5)

strengths and weaknesses and connect with me and see how my history had impacted me. My second strength is learner. By
examples of application (Sources = observing the level of composure my group members were demonstrating, I learned to let down my
Leadership style inventories, the L.P.I., mental guard for some time to better conform to my FLITE group. My third strength is restorative.
StrengthsQuest, Type Focus (MBTI), Within my friends, I always mend broken relationships as best I can. For example some of my
LAMP, and other career inventories, etc.) friends during the election were struggling with the results, so I consoled them by helping them find
out how what transpired came to be, and what it would mean for them in the future. My fourth
strength is connectedness, which I demonstrated when I was able to connect my own personal
experiences to my FLITE groups experiences. My fifth strength is individualization. I learned more

understanding and accepting others. Healing is the act of transforming others to be greater than
before, repairing broken spirits and emotional ailments. Awareness encompasses both awareness of
others and awareness of oneself, and commands an integrated view of situations. Persuasion is
bringing others into alignment with ones own beliefs and ideas through words. Conceptualization is
holding in the Servant Leaders mind the goal which encompasses all actions. Foresight is how well
one can predict outcomes. Stewardship is trusting others with what has been created. Commitment
to the Growth of People is the recognition and encouragement of everyones worth and capacity to
grow. Building Community is the act of creating small scale communities for people to take part in.
These characteristics together form the Servant Leaders basis for action. (EVIDENCE 7)

the 4 Vs theory of leadership by core aspects that interact to form an ethical leader that desires to make a change in the world. The
Grace (Center for Ethical Leadership) first aspect is Values, which are the core concepts that the ethical leader commits to. The second
aspect is Vision, which is how the leader pictures the world to be better, which provides the
framework for their actions. Voice is how the ethical leader spreads their vision and inspires others
to act upon it. Virtue is the actions taken to undergo this process. From these aspects arise three
additional elements. Service, which is the connection between Vision and Values: Service to others
is how we reveal the values behind the vision. Polis, which is the connection between Voice and
Vision: public action gives voice to our vision. Renewal, which is the connection between Voice and

Development by Astin et al purpose, controversy with civility, and citizenship. These all fall into either Individual (first three),
Group (second three), or Community (citizenship) categories. The 8th C is change, which is the
overall goal of this model. Consciousness of self is awareness of personal strengths and values,
biases, and goals. Congruence is how well an individual sticks to their values. Commitment is the
amount of energy an individual puts into their work or relationship. Collaboration how well individuals
within the group work together to accomplish their goal. Common purpose means members have
shared goals and expect similar results. Controversy with civility is how well individuals in a group
deal with conflicts, and how well they respect one another. Citizenship is how the individuals and
group interact with the community as a whole. The three categories interact with one another to
produce the 8th C. Individuals that know what their goal is, and have goals congruent with the needs
of the community they are involved in, can work alongside like-minded, committed individuals as a
group in order to bring about change. (EVIDENCE 10)

or others) one another. Stage 2 is storming. This is where individuals start to fit themselves into a hierarchy.
Group members are set against one another, competition between individuals is high, and there is
lack of congruency within the group in terms of purpose. Stage 3 is norming. Trust is beginning to
build within the team, individuals are becoming committed to the group goals, and the group is
becoming successful. Stage 4 is performing. The group is now at full productivity. Individuals are

115. Student will describe personal examples HDF 190 In HDF 190, my FLITE group exhibited Tuckmans stages when we created an action plan for The
of group development in use (Tuckman, Bully Project with the Feinstein Institute. We went through Forming when we merged with another
Bennis or others). class of students to create an action plan for a Martian bullying victim who was being ostracized. We
went through Storming when none of us were confident in what we were trying to do. The ideas we
had we didnt feel had any credibility or substance to them. We went through Norming when we
started coming up with ideas and found a voice for them. We came up with the idea to talk to both
the parents and fellow students. We went through Performing when we applied the ideas we had
with the Martian situation. We would create school groups that would focus on Earth and Martian
cultures, and we would meet with parents to try to get them to include some Martian culture at home
so we could normalize it for our victims peers. We went through Adjourning when we came together
with the larger group and talked with the other group about our different bully victims situations,
active bullying vs. ostracism. (EVIDENCE 10)

122. Student will show knowledge of the Com 100 In Com 100, we covered the elements of informative speeches. The general purpose of an
construction / elements of informative and informative speech is to share knowledge on a topic. Topics should be appropriate for the time,
persuasive speeches simple to comprehend, interesting to both the speaker and the audience, and have a clear purpose.
The speaker should know about the demographics of the audience, and how much the audience
knows about the topic at hand. The speech itself should have a specific topic, with three to five main
points with three to five subpoints each. Points should be supported with statistics, examples,
personal experiences or expert testimony. An informative speech can be organized either
chronologically, spatially, topically, by problem/solution, or by cause/effect. Speeches should be well
practiced to reduce stage fright and develop the language and style to be used. Presentational aids
should supplement the speech, not replace it, and be available to all audience members. Delivery of
the speech can be either impromptu, manuscript, or extemporaneous. Impromptu speeches are
made on the spot. A manuscript speech is written out word for word. Extemporaneous speeches
have a rough outline for delivery. Informative speeches can be about objects, processes, concepts,
or events. They should orally cite their sources, remain unbiased, and avoids trying to persuade
others. (EVIDENCE 11)

have a good public speaking background, so this was a good opportunity to use my talent in a
scholarly context. (EVIDENCE 11)

the interviewer) begin, we brainstormed as many questions relating to genocide as possible, such as How do you
define genocide? and Have these violations of human rights improved in Rwanda?. Next, one of
our group members scheduled an interview with him on April 13th at 1:00 pm. The interview lasted
roughly an hour. We made sure that we did not interrupt him when he was answering our questions,
prompted him when he gave us pause, and interacted with him as much as he deemed appropriate
while also giving him the cameras full attention. (EVIDENCE 12)

130. Student will show knowledge of Com 100 In Com 100, we learned about intercultural communication. Intercultural communication is
Intercultural communication verbal/nonverbal communication between people of different cultures. Different cultures have
considerations different views on human nature, such as innately good or evil, on views of dominance between
humanity and nature, or on acceptability of authority. There can also be differences in values, or
orientations. Short term oriented cultures tend to be individualistic, and tend to have monotheistic
religions. Long term oriented cultures tend to be collectivist, and tend to have polytheistic religions.
Other aspects include how they think, such as using dialectic or dichotomous approaches (both/and
vs. either/or, respectively) to subjects such as individuality vs. culture, context vs. person. By
avoiding stereotypes and ethnocentrism, and increasing ones motivation to communicate across
cultures, one can more effectively mediate disputes, and become more aware of the cultures people
are part of. (EVIDENCE 13)
