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 Category: Self-Leadership
Outcome Target class Additional Experiences Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice
1. Student will demonstrate autonomy and a
minimized need for approval PRS 100
In summer of 2016 I decided it would In Public Relations 100 my group and I demonstrate autonomy because out assignment is to create a
be best if my mom and 1 no longer real life publics relation plan for an actual client Lets Read RI located in North Kingstown RI. This
lived together. So I made the project shows autonomy because we are doing the PR plan directly with the client without the
decision to move out. permission of the professor. We personally communicate and contact the client with any questions or
updates. At the end of the semester each group attempts selling their different PR plans to the client.
(See evidence #1)

4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of
stress management methods
5. Student will demonstrate the ability to
manage stress GWS 150 Talent Development summer During Talent Development summer 2016 I started college courses 1 week after I graduated high
classes, Com 100 school and had to manage the pressure and stress of having to pass these college courses in an
intensive 6 week program. If the TD scholars did not pass the courses then their admission would be
revoked from URI. The program was stressful because they were also my first college courses. I
managed my stress by using time management and prioritizing my wants and needs during the 6
weeks. With time management I was able to manage my time by writing lists and putting all my
assignments in an agenda. I would also go for runs at night after tutoring because staying active is a
stress reliever. I demonstrated my ability to manage stress because Im still a student enrolled here at
URI. (See evidence #2)
6. Student will express a personal code of HDF 190 Relational leadership In HDF 190, I learned the aspects that make up relational leadership. From HDF 190 I was able to
leadership / membership ethics apply my values and strengths to the components of the relational leadership model. I was able to
include my strengths and values to express how I would be a leader based off the model. I would be an
ethical leader according to the model because I would be inclusive off all my members and treat all fair
and equal. I would encourage my members to speak up and say what they have to say. I would be
empowering to them by understanding everyone has something to offer. The relational leadership
model also gave me the components to understand how to be an ethical leader even in non-leader
roles in everyday life. For example being a part of organizations jobs. To be ethical leader and person
of a community I show to my meetings and shifts promptly and do the commitments I made to my job
or organization.(see evidence #3)
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the
personal code of ethics
8. Student will express a personal values HDF 190 VIA Institute Characteristics In HDF 190, from VIA my 5 values in order are; appreciation of beauty and excellence, honesty,
statement kindness, fairness, and hope. At first I couldnt connect how I connected with these values, but now I
personally connect with all 5 of my values. I connect most with my top values, appreciation of beauty
and excellence because I am always grateful for what I have and enjoying moments while I have them.
I try to share this energy with other around me. My second most relatable value is honesty. I relate
with honesty because Ive come to learn that honesty is one of the only ways to build trust with others. I
always to be honest with others but never in a way to hurt others. Honesty sometimes can be mistaken
for rudeness so I have to make sure my honesty isnt damaging to my peers, friends, coworkers, act.
My next value is kindness. I value kindness because I enjoy impacting others lives in positive ways
weather the act is small or big. I use my kindness to build relationships with others, this value works
well with my WOO strength. My fourth value is fairness. This value is important to be because I believe
you should treat others how you want to be treated. I believe we are all human and created equally and
everyone should be given a chance and not judged up race, religion, sex, gender, and act. My last
value is hope. Hope was the last value I expected to see on my list, but it started to make sense over
time. I am always looking into the future and making goals to accomplish. Hope is what keeps me
going knowing that I hope for change or better in the future.
(See evidence #4)
9. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 190 Multicultural overnight program 2017 In HDF 190, I learned how I would be able to apply my values to the URI community. By being a
personal values statement volunteer I was able to apply my values; appreciation of beauty and excellence, honesty, kindness,
fairness, and hope. I used my value of appreciation of beauty and excellence while volunteering to
work with possible URI students of class 2021 by just enjoy the moment and trying to keep the
students I was with in the moment enjoying themselves and not being too stressed about making their
decisions for college. I was in the same position as them a year ago. I used honesty because I was
honest with the students about how I felt with URI. I used kindness by helping the students out with any
questions they had about the school about college as a whole. I used fairness by representing URI in a
positive light and giving back. I used hope especially during the scavenger hunt in the pouring rain. I
kept my group hopeful about winning and coming out on top and enjoying themselves even though it
was down pouring, wet, and cold.(Evidence #5)
10 Student will demonstrate the ability to GWS 150 Women of ISIS paper In Gender women studies 150, I demonstrated being able to finish a project start to finish by

. through) a partner. A partner is someone who works alongside you and you help one another and have to be
equals. In GWS for my final project we were assigned a project on gender issues across the globe and
do a PowerPoint and paper on the subject. My partner in did not work equal to me or assist me with the
project. I was forced to lead the project which only forced me to finish the project beginning to end
without the assistance from my partner. This project will always be significant to me because it
occurred during the Talent Development summer where my admission to URI was on the line. Once I
completed the project I felt accomplished that I finished the final on my own start to finish during a
stressful summer and received a good grade on the project and class. (evidence #6)
11. Student will describe goals and objective HDF 190 Working on my anxiety and PTSD, In 2016 I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety which is personal issue I deal with. I have made goals

career issues, and community issues goals I have set is to come to terms with my issues and not to deny them. Ive also maintained the goal
of seeing my therapist and working out to release stress. A goal I set for my career future is to try and
find where I want to keep my focus in college. Ive established that I want to major in Italian but Im sure
of where I what else I want to focus in. To help me figure this out Ive been taking classes in subjects
that interest me and feeling out what sticks. A community issue Ive been dealing with is diversity in
URIs Greek community. To help make a change in URI community I joined a new sorority at URI
named DipHE knowing we have the full potential to become diverse and make an impact on campus.

common purpose and goal. The 3 basic principles of relational leadership are
knowing, being, and doing. For knowing you must know yourself, how change
happens, and how others see things differently. For being you must be ethical, open,
caring, and inclusive. For doing you must act socially responsible, congruent and
constant as a member of a community. The 4 components of relational leadership are

had different strengths and values. The purpose of the activity was to get a group to
build the tallest and sturdiest house out of a limited supply of marshmallows, tape,
and spaghetti. Along with building the house we had to come up with a backstory if
the house. The relational leadership applied to this activity because to be an effective
group we had to make sure all group members were included and all members
opinions of what to do were being heard. We had to make sure all members were
being empowered and not being put down. As a group we had to be purposeful and
all come up with a common goal. We established a common goal of making the best
house that fit all the criteria. As a group we were process- orientated because we

. Development by Astin et al
social justice, and knowledge. The model is made up of 7 Cs; consciousness of self,
congruence, commitment, collaboration, common purpose, controversy with civility,
and citizenship. Consciousness of self means that one is wear of their own beliefs,
values, attitudes, and what motivates them self to take action. Congruence means
being fair and honest with others. Commitment means sticking to your word and
following through. Collaboration is working with others and empowering them.
Common purpose means that all are striving for the same goal and values.
Controversy with civility brings light being different ideas and viewpoints but
everyone has to have the willingness to look at the others viewpoint and respect it.
The last C is citizenship and its the process where one becomes a part of a
community.

of being a change agent booth has the motivation, understanding and the skills to make a positive change. A change agent needs to
. understand that change takes time, it can get rough, and ways to get over the roughness. A change
agent should have a positive outlook. The change agent needs to be comfortable with the transition.
That will need patience and confidence in themselves, and be willing to step out of their comfort zone.
A change agent has to be willing to take risks to make differences, be able to invision a positive
outcome. Have the ability to influence others. I demonstrated being a change agent in the Multicultural
overnight program and my random acts of kindness booth in the memorial union for my group seventh
leadership project. I was being a change agent by volunteering for the MOP because I stepped out of
my comfort zone to help a possible incoming URI freshman with their curiosities and fears about
college. I ensured they felt welcomed and accepted here. The Random Acts of Kindness is another
example of being a change agent. By doing the booth I was stepping outside of my comfort zone to
make another persons day positive. My classmates and I reached out to students on campus and had
them pick quotes from jars that would be like little pick me ups, especially around the end of the
semester. These are who example of how I demonstrated being a change agent that I learned from
HDF 190. (Evidence #5 & #11)

97 Student will demonstrate knowledge of PRS 100 HDF 190 In my public relations course we gained knowledge on diffrent types of crisiss and how much damage
leadership that is used in crisis that type of crisis can cause. The model we used for this was Situational Crisis Communication Theory
. (SCCT). Working in the PR world you take on a leadership role weather you work within a company or
for public media. PR professionals are leaders because they control what media and news gets out to
the public and they have to ensure that the information they are sending out is accurate and ethical.
Since PR is a profession that is based of trust with their publics. Its common for people to confuse PR
with marketing where the profession becomes less ethical. So PR professionals much be honest and
ethical when it comes to their profession. The three clusters in the SCCT are; Victim cluster, In these
crisis types, the organization is also a victim of the crisis. Accidental cluster, In these crisis types, the
organizational actions leading to the crisis were unintentional. Preventable cluster, In these crisis
types, the organization knowingly placed people at risk, took inappropriate actions or violated a
law/regulation. My public relations cores helped me gain knowledge of a crisis and how leaders should
act in a crisis. HDF gave me knowledge on how leaders should act in a crisis, which is honest, ethical,
and fair. (Evidence #15)
