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 letters—anything 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 a HDF 415 Zumba campus rec In HDF 415 we discussed students going to class and not skipping. I always go even
minimized need for approval if people are like it is Friday let’s not go.I can do things by myself. I am impendent I
do not need to rely on someone for every little thing. I minimized a need for
approval from others by not looking for approval from others if I’m happy with
what I’m doing I don’t care what other people think.
For example, tangible example for each area is first academics, especially in the
target class of HDF 415 going to a professor for help even though peers think that is
weird and do not go themselves. I go to different things to try them out and see if I
like it. Freshmen year I went to Zumba classes every Sunday morning at Fascitelli
because I had a good time even though some of the people on my floor thought that
taking classes at the gym instead of doing your own workout routine was a weird
thing to do, yet I continued going and when my class schedule changed in the
spring semester, I even went on Friday afternoons as well.
Evidence- #1
2. Student will demonstrate personal, HDF 415 All college courses In HDF 415 we discussed the importance of staying on top of our selves so we can
organizational, and academic examples of give good for others and not spread ourselves too thin. Personal self-discipline is no
self-discipline
going on phone or getting distracted by other things when I am supposed to be
working on something especially a group project. I have an agenda where I write
down assignment and exam dates, as well as club meetings dates and times to make
sure I don’t miss anything. I plan out my day to stay academically self-disciplined,
in order to plan time to study and which things I will be studying during that class
time.
In my personal life I say organized in a similar way, I utilize to do lists to make sure
it is all happening, and nothing slips through the cracks. Organization is important
it helps everything go smoothly so I think the best example of general example of
organization I have is my dorm room it basically shows the same layout, of food in
one bin personal hygiene stuff in another so it makes it easy to find when I am
looking for it in a rush.
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 415 Lifeguarding In HDF 415, we discussed not letting your emotions get the best of you even when
manage emotions you are getting annoyed with a group or certain person in the group. I manage my
emotions by keeping a poker face in public as much as possible. If something goes
wrong like I get a text or email about something good or bad I try not to express it to
the people around me especially when you do not know how they will react. Wait
until in a privative space to react. If I am one the job lifeguarding, I will watch and
scan and keep a neutral face. You cannot have any pool goers thinking there is
danger, or someone is in trouble if you look surprised and or scared. Managing my
emotions on the stand helps to manage the emotions of the whole pool, because the
pool goers are constantly looking at lifeguard and checking in and you want them t
have a happy joyous experience and not feel like they are in danger even though
anything can happen in a moments notice.

4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 415 EGR 105 In HDF 415 and EGR 105 the topics of stress have arisen, in both we talked about
stress management methods how college and classes are stressful at times, and it is important to learn to manage
that. I learned some methods to manage stress. First let’s get into what stress is, you
bodies response to a challenge or demand. Some quick ways to manage stress are
guided imagery. It is like taking a short vacation in your mind, imaging your happy
place. Mediation can help short term but also bring long-term stress relief. Creating
art or taking a walk can also be helpful. For more long stress relief strategies eating
balanced diet and prioritizing exercise can be very beneficial. Exercise can be in the
form of going to the gym taking a class or even hiking or kayaking.

5. Student will demonstrate the ability to GWS 150 Asynchronous Class During winter J-term of my sophomore year I took a J-term class GWS 150 and was
manage stress also working and it was very stressful. It was also stressful because it was a lot of
writing during short amounts of time. So to manage the stress of the class I would
wake up at a reasonable hour so I could wake up and chill a little bit before starting
the academic course work which seemed to never end until I went to bed. It was a
asynchronous class so not having a time dedicated to the class was challenging. I
also utilized by employment at a pool to exercise ever time before or after work by
either running on the track or taking a swim. By doing all that it became more
manageable to do the class work when it need seem as all consuming. I had a
schedule and things to look forward to so that was super helpful in getting through
that tough approximately three weeks.
6. Student will express a personal code of HDF 290 None What makes a good a leader leads to the ethics of a leader. Is a person who respects others, treats
leadership / membership ethics others well no matter who they are or their opinion of them. A leader with good ethics is honest and
fosters a honest community in the people that they are leading. Not suffocating opinions of others
allowing them to be honest as well. A ethical leader serves others. Ethical leaders also stand up for
justice and help create change.
Source conversation on what makes a good or bad leader in class
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 415 Greek Life I would say my personal code of ethics is honesty, respect, integrity, dedication, and
personal code of ethics perseverance. I am dedicated to everything I join. I show this by showing up and
caring when there. I have respect for myself and others. I demonstrate this by
treating others as I wish to be treated. Respecting everyone no matter what. I am
demonstrating honesty by being honest to professors when struggling on content. I
demonstrate integrity by not gossiping with others and following through on
promises I make. I demonstrate perseverance by keeping going even if it gets tough
Every day is a new day to preserver though or has a new assignment to tackle that
might be tough. Though joining Greek life, I also have to live by those ethics and
beliefs sisterhood, justice, and love. I demonstrate these things by talking to all
sisters and creating those bonds of sisterhood to the best of my ability. I demonstrat
justice by standing up for what I believe in and what the chapter believes in. I
demonstrate love by treating all sisters with love and being nice to all.

as being cautious in a good Way and staying goal orientated. I use fairness by splitting things like the
last cookie with my sisters. Honesty I use my always telling the truth. Judgement by being openminded
in new situations and trying new things. Forgiveness by forgiving others. Prudence because I have a lo
of goals.

Strengths and/or weaknesses, and Stamina. I am always trying to stay productive. A strength here is I can push myself to continue
examples of application (Source = Gallup) studying even after a long time in order to achieve the goal set. A weakness is that I have a hard time
not working hard and just relaxing. Deliberative
People are best described by the serious care they take in making decisions or choices. As well as
anticipating obstacles that can
occur. My strength has been deliberative is being able to make tough decisions. My weakness is that
when I decide it is final and not likely to change it. Learner, they have a great desire to learn and wan
to Continuously improve. It is about the journey and not always about the outcome. My strength is that
also want to continue learning and never want to stop. A weakness is if I do not know an answer to a
trivia question, I must learn it. Harmony is the want for no conflict but seeking agreement. Strength is I
like to help people achieve a compromise. Weakness is not liking seeing people arguing and wanting
to insert what I know to resolve the issue. Arranger can organize but they also have a flexibility That
complements this ability. It matters how you can do the best to
Maximize productivity or how to make something flow the best. Strength is It helps me stay productive
because I arrange by schedule for maximum focus and putting harder subjects or assignments when I
have the most energy and focus. A weakness is I do not like change from a set schedule hard to go
with the flow.

19. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 None The theory of “Authority and Bureaucracy” was created in 1922 by Max Weber. It came to be because
“Authority and Bureaucracy” theory of he realized that while examine induvial action it relates to authority and large-scale structures of
leadership Weber authority and how they relate to a society’s economy. He developed a classification system of
authority. Authority is accepted power. His three types of authority are traditional, charismatic, and
legal-rational. Traditional is legitimized by long standing custom the style is historic personality. The
belief in traditions and the past way of doing something. An example is the Patriarchy. Charismatic is
based on a leader’s personal qualities, the character of a person. The leadership style is dynamic
personality. Some examples are Napoleon and Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa. Legal-
Rational is the authority in an office, not the person based on a set of laws in society. The leadership
style is bureaucratic officials, and some examples are the U.S. presidency and congress and the
Modern British Parliament. As a result of the development of communication and transportation
technologies a more efficient administration that treated all humans equally was requested by the
public. Bureaucracy is an organizational structure that is characterized by many rules, standardized
processes, procedures and requirements, number of desks, meticulous division of labor and
responsibility, clear hierarchies and professional, almost impersonal interactions between employees.
These are the six elements Max Weber came up with Task specialization/ division of labor, hierarchica
layers of authority, formal selection, rules and requirements, impersonality, and career orientation.
Used in life all aspects of life but mostly career and rules on how things work. Allowing management to
maintain control of workers, assessing and make changes when needed.

“Visionary Leadership” (now often cited as Sashkin in 2003. Transformation leadership is an approach to leadership that relies on encouraging
“Transformational Leadership”) theory by and motivating followers to participate in molding successful future for an organization. It is used in
Sashkin politics, education, entertainment, finance, technology, and other industries. A transformational leader
should be able to enter a new environment an organization that is not doing well analyze what they see
and come up with a list of improvements immediately. Then help the organization sin defining or
redefining core values. Simply a transformational Is used to inspire employees to look ahead with a
focus on the greater good into function as a single unit with a common goal in mind. There are many
qualities to look for when determining if a leader is a transformational leader or a different type. These
Characteristics or visionary, team centric, engaging, inspiring, inclusive, emotionally intelligent, and
collaborative. In combination with the characteristics, they are charismatic, empathetic, and motivating
with strong ethical values. They put other their team before themselves and never think about their
power will benefit themselves. Transformation leaders should have the ability to understand people,
define each team members goals and aspirations, and bring everyone together. Transformational
leaders create a safe collaborative environment to allow the members of the organization feel like they
can freely share their own ideas. Examples of well-known transformation leaders are Nelson Mandela,
Abraham Lincoln, Richard Branson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Mohammed Gandhi. Some
companies that have thrived under transformation leadership today are Apple, IMB, Microsoft,
Walmart, and Google. Any companies can easily put this leadership style in place but it most
beneficial to struggling companies that are currently under poor leadership.

lecturing about fugacity in class. Had the experience new first time learning about
the topic. The next stage is me reflecting on the content next stage is me trying to
figure out the homework on the topic which was me reflecting on the content
learned thinking about it and trying to conceptualize it. Not fully understanding
how to do it. I made some new ideas by reading the textbook and asking other
people. To create new ideas off of what I learned. I then moved to the final applied
and testing these new ideas to my homework by trying again. Then the cycle starts
again because it is never ending.

47. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 415 In HDF 415 we discussed the Social Change Model of Leadership Development,
“Social Change Model of Leadership coined by Astin et al. It was established in 1994. It was built on a few assumptions;
Development” by Astin et al leadership is concerned with effecting change on behalf of others and society,
leadership is collaborative, leadership is a process rather than a position, leadership
should be values based, all students are potential leaders, and service is a powerful
vehicle for developing students’ leadership skills. It can be based on seven
dimensions or values called the Seven C’s. The seven C’s are consciousness of
self(awareness of beliefs, values, attitudes, and emotions that motivate one to take
action), congruence (thinking, feeling, behaving with consistency, genuineness,
authenticity, and honesty), commitment (motivational energy to serve and that
drives the collective effort), collaboration(working with others in a common effort),
common purpose(working with shared aims and values), controversy with
civility(that differences in viewpoint are inevitable and that such difference in
viewpoint are inevitable), and citizenship(process whereby the individual and the
collaborative group become responsibly connected to the community and the
society through the leadership experience). The first three are individual values,
second three are group values, and societal/community values. Change is the
ultimate goal of the creative process of leadership, to make the world better world
and a better society for self and others.

48. Student will describe personal application HPR 230G During this course we learned all about sustaining our shores and every week a
of the above theory (Astin et al) different speaker would come into the class and share their expertise and
knowledge on the topic. We learned about coast, the future of seafood, and plastic
and marine pollution. We learned about the UN Decade of Ocean Science for
Sustainable Development (2021-2030). After gaining all this background knowledge
we as a class wanted to make some changes on campus like the ones we were
hearing about people making, we first looked at our own values and thought about
what we wanted to see the change in and where we thought efforts could be made
on within the campus community, then split into smaller groups and worked
together with the common goal of wanting to flesh out ideas and we had really
heated debates about what was most important and what could be chopped as we
wanted our declaration that was to be presented to President Parlange to be clear,
concise, creative, and actionable. Then as a whole class we civilly debated yet again
and also noticed the common themes within the groups to help bring it together into
a final document. We all wanted to see a change on campus so we tried to come up
with things that are within budget and doable even though we first came out
swinging with big ideas that would have been really hard to pull off, we all truly
wanted to help the campus community through this common purpose.

We discussed title IX in GWS 150. We learned about the title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex (including
pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity) discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial
assistance. The title IX regulation states that “except for provided elsewhere in this part, no person shall, on the basis of sex, be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any academic, extracurricular,
research, occupational training, or other education program or activity operated by a recipient which receives ... Federal financial
assistance ....”. The University of Rhode Island to ensure compliance with Title IX and other federal and state civil rights laws, the
University’s Title IX coordinator and deputy coordinators are charged with monitoring compliance. The University of Rhode Island
does not tolerate sex discrimination, sexual violence of any kind. There is a list of Title IX coordinates. We also talked about the URi-
STANDer group on campus to help prevent and be educated about sexual violence. I have heard presentations from them in person
through Greek 101 and when they came to our chapter to discuss topic under this umbrella of topics.

97 Student will HDF Leadership In HDF 415 we discussed having a personal code of inclusive leadership. My personal code of inclusive leadership was built through
create a 415 Institute my last year’s leadership institute experience and my time as DPiE member. I got to learn about a lot of different people last time and
. personal code
hear their stories. In DPhiE after chapter we have diversity dialogs, we talked about different topic to get exposure, get educated, and
of inclusive
leadership DPhiE be able to share our opinions. We would have a passage to read and then we would come in and discuss it. The inequality that is
seen needs to be stopped on many levels. I believe that it is important to start with inclusive leadership from the start as college migh
be some peoples first encounter with it. I know I can be even more inclusive by challenging and breaking down stereotypes. Using
the right pronouns and educating myself and others on our privileges.
The statement
Being a peer leader and being around other peer leaders an mentors helps you to learn to be a better leader everyone is different and
you need to be able to make everyone feel comfortable. At URI one thing is in common everyone is a URI student but from there on
everyone is different, but still everyone deserves to be treated fairly, with kindness, and respect. I want everyone in any group I am a
part to feel respected regardless of any part of their identity. Depending on where you are from this could be your first taste of an
inclusive environment and you want to make sure it actually is. So it is necessary to create an environment in which everyone is
comfortable and feels safe here in the small groups we have but on the campus as a whole and can take those values with them all
around campus everywhere they go from sports, theater, to Greek life. So that is what I try to do by using inclusive language and
telling them the importance of being inclusive.

There are eleven principles of critical thinking. Which were created in 1994 by
Professor Larry Larson at Ohio State University. They are understanding and
defining all terms, gathering the most complete information, questioning the source
of facts, questioning the ways and methods by which the facts were gathered or
derived, looking for hidden assumptions and biases, understanding your own
biases and values, using thought stopping techniques, questioning conclusions
based on the available information, never expecting all of the answers, examining
the big picture, and examining multiple causes and effect. There are also many
types of fallacies. There are different types of fallacies. Such as bad reasons fallacy
(Argumentum ad Logicam), this one is about the conclusion is assumed to be bad
because the arguments are bad. The next one is the masked man fallacy (Intentional
Fallacy) the masked man fallacy involves a substitution of parties. If the two things
we substitute are identical, then the argument is valid. It is not necessarily always
true. Say you say a blonde women opened the door and Hailey is blonde you can
assume Hailey opened the door. Not necessarily true it could have been Hannah.
The fallacy of quantitative logic. The fallacies of quantitative logic revolve around
the grammatical structure of the proposition.

and questionnaires, and one person makes the final decision. The RA of my floor
would send out google forms to be filled out by all the floor members anonymously
about what programs we wanted. Then the RA would make final decisions based
on what was most popular. In the HPR 230G class we had multi-voting decision-
making to decide what would go into the declaration. We multi-voting by taking
the vast amount of ideas we came up with and slowly knocking out different items
in each round. My friends and I used to flip a coin to decide which restaurant in the
emporium. If heads caliente if tails subway. All organizations on campus that I
know we used the single vote system. Such as Society of Women engineers we use
a single vote system in person. All active members write down the name of who
they want based on the speeches they told. Then whoever has the popular vote for
that position is who the go too.

109 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 290 None Active listening is the process by which an individual secures information from another individual or
active listening techniques group. Key aspects are paying attention to the conversation not interrupting and taking time to
. understand what the speaker is saying. Other techniques that are a part of active listening are building
trust, establishing rapport, demonstrating concern, paraphrasing to show understanding, use nonverbal
cues such as eye contact and nodding, verbal affirmations, asking open ended and specific questions,
and waiting to disclose your opinion and similar experiences to show understanding. The active
element is taking steps to drive details that might not be shared otherwise. It is important to never
interrupt and at the end of the conversation summarize and observe body language to give them an
extra level of understanding. Active listen is a helpful way to help you truly understand what people are
saying. An example of where to use active listening is at a job interview. It helps to show That you were
interested in an organization challenges and successes, and ready to help them problem solve work
issues. I used it during college interviews to help build a positive relationship with the interviewer. It is
also usable when talking to a professor and having them reexplain the topics. I have done this while
talking to my physics professor to make sure he knows I am still engaged in what he is talking about.

constantly looking into the crowd for feedback. So I make sure to nod my head and
answer questions thrown to class in general or when he calls on me specifically. I
also try to answer his questions to the best of my ability giving the professor eye

read his body langue when talking, like when pointing or giving facial expressions
that might prove if the content is super important or supposed to be easy. In the lab

to what a student is telling me. If they seem confused about a skill I listen closely
and nod along while they talk about it so they know I’m understanding what they
are telling me. I ask specific questions on what they are confused about. I will also
give them a good job or a let’s try that again to prove to them that yes, I did

Challenge and Support theory by Sanford, educate and help let people grow. This theory is especially important for college
. and its relationship to organizations
students. The theory was created in 1967 by Sanford. This foundational theory will
certainly inform the way people can help lead and mentor people.
The challenges occur in situations for which a person does not have the skills,
knowledge, or attitude to cope (for example academic, social, psychological).
Keeping the theory in mind that these challenges are a necessary and usually
unavoidable part of the college experience, student affairs professionals should not
seek to eliminate them, but to support students through these challenges. The
diagram can go across is the level of challenge and the level of the support goes up.
Disengagement is the bottom left and lowest level is low optimism, low
determination, and lack of progress. The next square to the right but no more up is
retreat apprehension, unproductive stress. Going up one is stagnation, which is
tedious, unproductive stress-free, and taking it easy. Next right on the top next to
stagnation is maximum growth which is continuum of learning, innovation,
renewal, and development and growth.
139 Student will describe personal examples of HDF 415 Swim lessons In HDF 415 we discussed that different people under different circumstances need
using the theory of Challenge and Support different levels of challenge and support. I taught a lot of private swim lessons
. (Sanford)
during my time off college and they are a perfect example of the challenge and
support. Some kids like the water so much that they are stagnation because instead
of listening to what is going on and taking on the challenge. The best one is when
they come in determined to swim with the right amount of support from me and
their parents. They fast track to maximum growth not meaning they walk out of the
pool with the immediate ability to float or anything but they are not scared and
willing to learn. The worst is when there is such a high challenge like getting in the
water when they do not want to and you have to coax them in the water with toys. I
had a student that would not put their face in the water and had tons of support but
when mom left the deck and looked away they put there face in the water a little bit.
Over time the kids loosen up and eventually get to the stage of maximum growth
when they are supported and yet feel challenged.
140 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 None Informative speeches provided knowledge. Informative speeches use descriptions, demonstrations,
construction / elements of informative and vivid detail, and definitions to explain a subject person, or place the audience wants to understand.
. persuasive speeches They make a complex topic easy to understand. An important piece to remember is not to use pathos
while giving this type of speech. Within the speech the audience needs to have all the details so they
can make an educated decision or learn something. There are Four types of informative speeches
such as definition, explanatory, descriptive, and demonstrative. Definition being a speech that explains
a concept or theory regarding a topic. Speeches in schools are usually definition, such as in a biology
class informing the class how DNA works. Explanatory is a speech that explains the state of the topic.
An example of explanatory is the type of speeches given at industry conferences; they usually include
visuals. Demonstrative is a speech that describes how to perform an action. The demonstrative speech
is a how-to speech, explaining a step by step on how to something like how to ride a bike or tie a shoe.
Descriptive is a speech that helps speaker create an actor’s mental picture in the mind the audience
regarding a specific person, place, or thing. A descriptive speech creates a very vivid image in ones
mind such as a person who discovered a new temple in South America to inform the person about their
recent discoveries. I have used this in class many types, I even had to write a how to essay on how to
swim and then present it to the class.
Persuasive speeches are aimed at changing a persons or groups attitude or behavior. Persuasive
speeches use equals, pathos, and logos. They use all the appeals, but ethos is the most important
appeal in a persuasive speech. Pathos and logos when combined together form a the best possible
argument. Many factors such as body language, the willingness of the audience, in the environment in
which the speech is given all affect the success of a speech. analysis is important in a specific speech
because the audience must be convinced for their own reasons not for the speaker’s reasons. A good
example of a persuasive speech is a sales pitch. As during a sales pitch, the presenter is trying to
convince the audience to buy the product or service.

preparing for and being interviewed Interviews Updating a resume is an essential part of preparing for an interview.
.
There are many different types of when I prepared to be interview. I went to the
Society of Women Engineers Conference (SWE) and the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers conference (AICHE) this past fall. There were a lot of mini-
interviews that occurred here. I updated my resume. In order to go in prepared I
printed out many copies of my resume for companies. I made sure to pick out and
wear nice professional outfits. I researched companies and graduate schools that
were going to be there it is hard to know for sure the full list of who’s going to be
there, but I did my best to know some information about the ones the piqued my
interest most. I did not write any questions down to ask, but I mentally prepared a
list of questions to ask companies and some different questions for the graduate
schools. An example of a company questions is what does a typical day look like on
the job? One for graduate schools are what areas of research do you specialize in?
How the interview worked was you go into the big room, stand in line, they call
next you hand them your resume and they start asking you questions based on your
resume and then more based on your answers. A specific one I remember is talking
to whirlpool. I was talking to the initial interviewer and then based on my answers
they moved me to a different one that could better answer my questions. Overall, I
just answered all their questions to the best of my ability.
Orientation leader interview process was different to prepare for but there were still
some similarities. I got professional outfits together. I thought about the kinds of
questions they will ask. The prepping was different because round 1 was group
interview style while round 2 was one on four. So, to prepare for the first day I just
came in ready to work with everyone. We traveled as a crew to the different spaces
and got a different type of interview. One was picking a question or activity from a
bowl and answer it. The next was a series of agree, disagree, or neutral questions.
Then we also did a group collaboration activity on making a better memorial union.
I made it through that round to the next round. This round I went in prepared to
talk about myself. I fielded questions they asked and answered them all thoroughly
with the best answer I could come up with possible. They even made me sing a song
as a interview question.

152 Student will describe ways to build HDF 290 None There are many ways to build relationships between leaders and members. One way is to build a
relationships between leaders and culture of listening. This includes being an active listener, giving the person you are talking to your full
. members attention, minimizing distractions comma reflecting back motions comma and checking your
understanding by asking questions. A leader can also use listening to connect and build relationships
with members by running meetings ensuring that everyone has a voice and feels listening to. It will
allow the members to feel comfortable sharing their own ideas. Another way is to recognize emotion in
others. In order to do this the leader has to recognize emotions in others. Recognizing another
person’s emotional state that will allow a leader to demonstrate empathy. A leader can give the other
members of the group praise, but only when it is authentic. It should be specific and constructive. Be a
leader, not every one’s best friend. To do this behave in a way that inspires trust and confidence. Set
high expectations for the team in terms of the outcome and in terms of behavior and culture. You must
ask questions in order to build a relationship. It helps you as a leader both personally and
professionally. A question, coaching style of a leader will also allow others to be more solutions
focused. The questions help keep the questions clear. An important one is developing shared values.
Especially when the group comes together and creates the values together.

assignments a not so good relationship with the peer leader. The students who came
to class, did their assignments and were getting a lot out of having a HDF 190 leader
they had good relations with their peer leaders.
As a member of the SWE (Society of Women Engineers) E-board this past year I
built relationships with general members of the club. I created strong relationships
with freshmen in the fall that sat at the table I constantly sit at with a few friends
that attended the meetings at that time and answered their questions about URI in
general, the different types of engineering, things about the dining hall and basically
anything they needed to know. One of them got a job at the Gertz café in the
Engineering Building which I went to frequently this past year. So, every time I was
there, I would check in and say hi and we would talk for a bit. I saw some of the
others in dining halls and would talk in line getting food to expand relationship
outside of just seeing each other at club meetings. Some of them were in my math
class last semester and we would chat in there before class started about the course.
Then when meetings came around it was a better environment, they felt like they
knew more people there due to the relationships I had built with them.

Hall, and I was in Tucker Hall, so she was close by, and we were able to eat at the
dining hall together about once a month to catch up.
Then the following year I was a a mentor in the program and going to be peer
mentor this upcoming year. I had two mentees one of them was a very text only
conversation, but I still encouraged her to join organizations and then she
transferred schools after transferring dorms, but I did all I could to be supportive.
My other mentee was also having some early transition issues that I helped, I

Engineers, I even encouraged her to join research. I saw her at club meetings and
around campus and always asked how she is and if she needed anything.
