Be A Bulldog

Be A Bulldog. Our work in student affairs is guided by 5 learning themes: interpersonal development, cultural and global intelligence, career readiness, community engagement and social responsibility, and holistic wellness. Explore Experiences, Learn New Skills, Earn Points, Redeem Prizes.Through the "Be A Bulldog" Co-Curricular Activities Model, Student Life is providing students with the opportunity to grow through inclusive activities with one of the 5 learning themes:

  • Interpersonal Development: Learn about yourself, your interests, and how to live within a community
  • Cultural & Global Intelligence: Develop an appreciation for cultural differences and similarities and understand ways to create inclusive and equitable communities
  • Career Readiness: Develop leadership and other skills that prepare you for the workplace
  • Community Engagement & Social Responsibility: Contribute to social, political, economic, and environmental issues within your community
  • Holistic Wellness: Be familiar with accessing wellness resources and improve your quality of life through balance and growth across the seven dimensions of wellness 

As students grow and participate in more events, their learning will progress through four stages:

  1. Explore & Discover: The first stage in learning something new
  2. Connect & Understand: Develop an appreciation for other ideas and concepts
  3. Apply & Practice: Use knowledge to solve problems
  4. Integrate & Influence: Combine different ideas to inspire others
