settings. who came from foreign countries to play at
Seton Hill. I am currently playing with two
girls from Catalonia and a girl from Paris,
France. During the time I have played with
these international student-athletes, I have
learned so much about their culture as well
as their respective languages. For instance,
I had the opportunity to learn first-hand
about the struggles occurring between
Catalonia and Spain; a cultural subject I
would know nothing about if I was not
fortunate enough to play basketball with
foreign teammates.

2.2 Use time, place, and social X In SPY 223 (Lifespan Development), I was
change as frameworks for given the assignment to watch a
analyzing social developments documentary on the lives of three different

perspectives how the way they were raised influenced
their adolescent development. Being that
the three teenagers were all raised with
different disciplinary figures, different
economic backgrounds, and different
lifestyles, the way they developed to
transition to young adulthood was very
interesting. Each adolescent grew into
adulthood with different levels of social
skills and academic achievement based on
their upbringing. It was intriguing to see
how different frameworks can construct
different developmental attributes in
adolescents.

am provided human rights and basic
freedoms.

data. the Seton Hill students. My group and I
collected numerical data that would help us
assess whether or not exercise impacts
stress levels in Seton Hill University
students. After analyzing and interpreting
the data statistically, we concluded that
exercise does help lower stress levels in
college students.
3.2 Locate, analyze, X In SLA 150 (Faith, Religion & Society), I

a logical argument. Through my research, I had to interpret both
qualitative and quantitative information to
formulate my own position of apple cider’s
effectiveness on weight loss. For my
presentation, I gave both sides of the
argument and the pros and cons of the
supplement. Ultimately, I gave evidence-
based reasons as to why apple cider vinegar
should not be considered an effective
weight loss supplement.

3.4 Demonstrate respect X In SSP 100 (Elem Spanish Language &


for multiple ideas and Culture I), I had the opportunity to research
worldviews. some of the most interesting holidays and
festivals in Spain. Through my research, I
was intrigued to find unique holidays and
festivals that I never even heard of before.
At first, the events seemed strange, but as I
explored the reasonings behind each festival
and holiday more I gained a respect for the
cultural differences. Each festival and
holiday had its own cultural and historical
meaning. Also, it was very interesting to
learn more and gain respect for a different
view of similar holidays that we have here
in the United States.

4.1 Employ ethical X In SPL 210 (Introduction to Ethics), I had the


decision-making grounded opportunity to research a current controversial
in philosophical inquiry. ethical issue. I chose the morality of stem cell
research. People have contradictory opinions of
whether or not stem cells should be used in the
medical field to help essentially regrow and heal
parts of the body. It is contradictory because
stem cells need to be extracted from live
embryos, very similar to the subject of abortion.
The decision of whether or not using stem cells
is ethical is blurred. In the presentation, I
compared the moral philosophical theories of
deontological ethics and utilitarian ethics; both
confirmed that the decision of the use of stem
cells can either be determined as ethical or
unethical based on intent.

4.2 Apply Catholic social X In SLA 150 (Faith, Religion & Society), I was
teaching to the analysis of asked to explore the potential impact Catholic
contemporary social issues. social teaching may have on racial injustice. I
concluded that Catholic social teaching
acknowledges that every human life is precious,
no matter the race, ethnicity, sexuality, or
religion of a person. It is important that I not
only had the opportunity to learn about Catholic
social teaching but also can apply the teachings
to contemporary social issues because of the
continued social injustices occurring in our
society.

4.3 Explain the value of X In SLA 150 (Faith, Religion & Society), I was
diverse spiritual and was tasked with researching the similarities
religious perspectives. between the teachings of Jesus Christ and
Muhammad. Writing this paper helped to teach
me the value of understanding and finding
likeness in contrasting religious perspectives.
This assignment opened my mind to the
complexities of different religious teachings and
has allowed me the chance to compare different
religions. Learning the principles of different
religions and spiritual perspectives is important
to me because it better enables me to understand
and sympathize with those around me; it also
helps to reduce fear and intolerance.
4.4 Integrate the action of X In SLA 400 (Senior Integrative Seminar), our
charity with the virtue of class completed a justice project. For our
justice project, we chose to support the Westmoreland
Community Action Program. This organization
works to help those families in the community
who are struggling financially, specifically
single-income or low income families. The goal
of working with this organization was to help
improve the standard of living for those
struggling financially in the surrounding area by
collecting non-perishable food items, hygienic
products, clothing items, diapers, and other
necessities. We also chose to take action on
campus by writing inspirational and uplifting
messages on notecards and rocks for the Seton
Hill population to see. We hoped that these
messages would help better the mental health of
those walking around campus.

4.5  Exercise responsible X As an officer of SAAC (Student Athlete


freedom and civic Advisory Committee), I was tasked with
engagement based on an encouraging each of the players on all of the
informed value system. teams at Seton Hill to go out and vote on
November 8. To raise awareness about Election
Day, the NCAA requires most of the sports
teams to be given November 8 off from practice
so that players have the opportunity to vote. I
sent each sports team examples of possible civic
engagement activities that they could participate
in as a team. For instance, for basketball, we
celebrated cultural differences on our team by
cooking foreign foods together and talking
about the voting systems in Catalonia and in
France.

we want to play our part in helping those in

opportunity to do so. Participation in
community service and civic engagements
fosters community development and
encourages future ethical behavior.
