GOAL!

Thank you!

Make a Commitment

Now picture yourself today and think about the first 3-5 steps you are going to take to get from here to there.

Synthesize

Our goals can only be achieved through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigourously act. There is no other route to success.

- Pablo Picasso

The Ultimate Goal of Higher Education Experiences

Help students achieve higher levels of:

  • Self-actualization (Maslow, 1943)
  • achieving one's full potential
  • Self-authorship (Magolda and King, 2004)
  • applicable to university experiences through interaction among students and educators, constructive instruction that allow for self reflection, clear interpretations of personal beliefs, and active involvement in meaningful activities
  • Autonomous perspectives (Mezirow 1991, 2000)
  • individualized research and study, independence

Congratulations and Welcome to Glendon!
