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.

1. Student will demonstrate


autonomy and a minimized COM 100, BUS Greek Life Before I even started the college admission process, I knew I wanted to be a part of a
need for approval 140G sorority. I would search up YouTube videos on sorority house tours, watch movies Were
sororities being shown and would look up the universities I was interested in to see what
sororities I liked most. When I chose URI, I enrolled in Fall Recruitment the first day it
was available. Before I even started recruitment, I rehearsed my answers to the questions
YouTube videos told me I would be asked. “Why do you want to be a part of Greek Life?”,
“Why do you like (name of sorority)?”. The first few rounds, these prepared answers
helped me get advance to the next round with multiple sororities but as the rounds began to
continue, no one liked me rehearsed answers and ended up dropping me. I was so upset to
see my dream of being a sister taken from me, but now looking back, I was not myself. I
was pretending to be someone I knew everyone would like. My answers were ones I knew
they would like but not one I truly believed in. This disappointment allowed me to
reevaluate why I wanted to be in a sorority or if I even wanted to be a part of one. I decided
to give recruitment ano Try, but this time be authentically me. I would not rehearse my
answers, I would not look at videos or stalk the sorority’s Instagram page to see what they
were like. I would just be me. To my surprise, I connected with Alpha Delta Pi and
received a bid from them. I am proud of myself for being me and recognized that people
liked me for me and wanted to know me because of me.
2. Student will demonstrate
personal, organizational, and HDF 190 Delta Sigma Pi, As I have now been a college student for a year now, I have learned the importance of
academic examples of ReStore, ECN having a schedule and managing time. Throughout high school, I had a strict sche COVID,
self-discipline 202 has allowed me to have even more time than I anticipated. Last semester, I struggled with
finding a balance and often worked on assignments the day before th that I layout my
schedule each week to ensure I stay on top of due dates and meeting times for my
activities. This helps me most in my asynchronous class, ECN 202. W deadlines for work.
When I write these due dates out, it holds me accountable when I open my planner each
week. Another example of this is the organization of my dor random items. But, in my
dorm room, it is essential that my roommate and I keep our area clean. This helps with
organizational purposes and also creates an environme bed every morning allows for my
day to start off with a simple task completed and energizes me to continue to be active.

3. Student will demonstrate the COM 100, Therapy, As a young child going through my parents divorce, it was hard to comprehend
ability to manage emotions HDF 413 exercise what was happening. I was confused, angry, sad, discouraged, and more. I had no
knowledge on how to properly communicate my emotions and would often lose full
control, resulting in fights and ultimately more anger. I had begun to bury my
feelings to try to conceal what I really felt. It wasn’t until my sophomore year of
high school that I truly invested in therapy. After one session, a large amount of
weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My therapist taught me ways to properly
communicate my emotions and exercises to ease my anxiety. One practice I was
introduced to was accepting my emotions. Whenever I feel upset or unhappy, I
identify the emotion and identify the reason I am emotional. This helps me ease
my anxiety over the problem, and come up with solutions faster. Another thing I
continue to do is a mood journal. This helps me release my feelings in a more
appropriate manner and allows me to reflect, not react. I still continue therapy once
a week which helps me understand and unpack more than I would by myself.

Delta Pi this was through my college process. I chose URI after a long hard conversation about
choosing schools because they are the best for me all around Social Intelligence helps me
be aware of those around me. Leadership is self-explanatory and why I am interested in
pursuing this minor. And lastly Curiosity fuels my adventurous side and allows for me to
be open to new experiences.Using all 5 of these characteristics, I feel I can better
communicate with friends and family, willing to step out of my comfort zone, and always
check on others. One exam Of this is when I worked as a peer mentor for Adaptive PE with
special education peers. Here I was able to lead those through activities, read their
emotions when they did not physically describe them, use kindness and patience when I
talked to them, and judge when a task might be too difficult for them to comprehend and
Reevaluate what I need to do to help them.

worked with upperclassmen to help with events. This opportunity has allowed for me to
push myself past my comfort zone and beco for the RecWell Department. I was hired and

have also learned many things. I led and gained First-Aid training to help in emergency
situations. With just these three different types of involvement, I have successfully found
my place at this University

Revised: Last year, my focus as a freshman was to get involved on campus. I joined many
organizations and created a lot of friendships. This year, as I am beginning to enter the
business school, my goal was to gain more experience and connections through
opportunities. Since September I have applied to multiple internship opportunities. After
going through multiple interview processes, I received a role at The Empowerment Factory
in Pawtucket, RI. The Empowerment Factory is a non-profit organization that teaches inner
city children social and emotional health through art. I am excited to start as a
Social-Media manager. I am proud of myself for continuing with the process and not
getting discouraged.
13. Student will show knowledge MKT 265 MKT 265, Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs” has five tiers. These tiers, put in a specific order,
of the “Hierarchy of Needs” HDF 190 show the requirements for humans to prosper. First, physiological needs include
theory by Maslow basic human needs like water, food, shelter, reproduction, etc. With this as the
bottom tier, these requirements must be fulfilled before assessing other needs.
Next, Safety includes personal protection: emotional stability, theft, financial
security, and violence. Love and belongings needs are third. This tier is about
human connections, friends, family, spouses. With developed relationships,
humans feel needed and appreciated which allows them to focus on esteem
needs. Esteem needs include self-confidence and self-respect. Maslow separated
these two because esteem can be broken down to respecting others and
respecting yourself. Last, Self-actualization needs are known as being the best
you can. This section includes education, music, athletics, cooking, gardening, etc.
These five tiers are the platform for human performance and how they engage with
their environment.

affected my family in multiple ways, and with friends who have been
diagnosed as pediatrics it is important for me to Raise money for such
a great cause. The Ronald McDonald House supplies families
receiving medical help free housing for as long as they need. With my
sorority we have raised money for the Ronald McDonald house and in
past years been able to physically serve those in the house when we
visit. This is something I am looking forward to most as I love
connecting with others. Recently, during Greek Week, my sorority and
a few fraternities raised around $7,000 for Amputee Blade Runner
and Steps of Faith Foundation. Both provide free services and
amputees to those who can not afford them. Just in one semester of
being apart of ADPi, I have already felt like I have impacted many

42. Student will describe personal HDF 190 Restore One-way relational leadership has impacted my life is through my
application of the above involvement with ReStore. I work with peers in constructing a business plan
theory (Komives et al) for Providence Habitat for Humanity as they build a ReStore from the
ground up. The dynamic my group leader, Jack, has established allowed for
us to work individually but also collectively as Jack delegates deliverables
we must complete. Each meeting, Jack starts with an ice breaker which
allows for us to better know each other. He then asks us all to share what we
have completed and what we still need to work on. This allows us to gain
confidence in sharing with one another and ask questions we think others can
answer. The way Jack has led us has allowed for my team members and I to
grow professionally and with each other, which is the premise of Relational
Leadership.

Revised: The more opportunities I have had leading, the Relational


Leadership Model is one that I relate to most. One of the most
impactful experiences I have had was at the Leadership Institute. As
a peer leader, I developed relationships with my fellow peers and
students I led. LI allowed me to gain confidence as a leader because
of the support I felt from my co-leaders. Having a relationship with
them that allowed me to feel comfortable to make mistakes or ask
questions allowed me to help my students even more. I remember on
the second day, having them share their Mosaics and how much they
shared after only knowing each other for a few hours. I still keep in
contact with those in my group and have enjoyed seeing them flourish
at URI.

43. Student will show knowledge BUS 140G, Traveling and internship The theory of constructivism states that learners compose their own
of the concept of HDF190 knowledge rather than take information in unconsciously. When people have
constructivism experience in the world, they build their own collection of information and
incorporate the new information to pre-existing knowledge. People learn the
most when they are learning through experiences. Learning also is a social
process and should be done with a group in order to build knowledge.
Ultimately, the goal of teaching is to provide students with experiences that
allow for constructivi to occur.

a business for URI Students. My group created Schedule4U, a schedule
making business for students who are overwhelmed with schedule making.

45. Student will demonstrate HDF 413 All Classes Kolb’s Learning Styles was created to help understand learning styles, most
knowledge of the Experiential specifically to identify who other’s obtain knowledge. It is separated into two
Learning Model (Kolb) parts: a 4-stage cycle of learning and 4 separate learning styles. The first of
the two, cycle of learning, indicates the process of which learner’s “touch all
bases”. The four stages begin with meeting a new idea or reintroducing the
idea (Active Experiment), doing or participating in the activity (Concrete
Experiment), reviewing the results (Reflective Observation), and lastly,
learning of new ideas or findings (Abstract Conceptualization).
The 4 learning styles are Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and
Accommodating. Diverging, also known as feeling and watching, understand
different viewpoints. This group would rather watch than do, and are known
to be interested in alway learning. Assimilating, watching and thinking, are
known to have a more logical approach. They are more interested in ideas
and concepts than people. Those who identify with converging, doing and
thinking, are great problem solvers and use their learnings to find solutions.
These people create practical uses for ideas and theories. Lastly,
Accommodating, doing and feeling, enjoys a “hands on” approach to
learning. This group is attracted to new experiences and carry out plans
effectively.

With one of my top strengths being empathy, I feel that this connection of
doing and feeling is a combination that allows me to succeed in
environments. One example of this was my senior year field hockey season.
During this season, our team morale was at a low. We were losing games,
blaming each other, and losing interest in the sport altogether. I talked to my
coach, and implemented some exercises we could do to encourage each

goals for each game and put them on our sticks, and talk as a team about
what was happening to us as a whole. After doing this for a few weeks, we
began to win more games and eventually made it to our state tournament.
With this experience, I felt our team’s disappointment in each other and felt
the need to do something to change it. Through this, I was awarded the Tara
Morma Empowerment Award for my accomplishments.

of yourself. This is through feelings, values, and beliefs. Congruence is
thinking with Others. It is being honest, consistent, and authentic in feeling
thoughts and behavior. Commitment is being motivated individually and
collaboratively to work towards a common goal. This is important as all
must work together but share their different ideas to the group. Common
purpose is working with shared values and end goals. This is important as
with different viewpoints there is a common goal to reach with everyone’s
help. Controversy with civility means that when differences arise it is
important to explicitly discuss the issues and respect others for those
viewpoints. It is also important to establish trust with group members in this

Model (Jackson) undergo an assessment to see where their organization stands and
create goals to become more change their group dynamic. This model
has three categories: Monocultural, Transition, and Multicultural. First
Monocultural, values and promotes one perspective as a group. In the
Monocultural category there are two different subcategories. One,
exclusionary, is committed to the group’s values, dominance, and
norms. This group actively excludes those who do not match their
mission or practices. The second, passive club, actively or passively
excludes those who are not in the majority. In other words, only
includes those who fit their norm.

Transition is known to include others, but under the dominant group.


Within this category, compliance and positive action are the
subdivisions. Compliance is described as a group adding new
members from different groups, but not making changes to have
individuals more included. A group in positive action is committed to
changing norms to add new members. In other words, they tolerate
the differences new members bring.

Organizations or groups that are considered Multicultural value and


integrate different viewpoints to make all members feel seen. In this,
an organization can be considered as redefining or multicultural. In
Redefining, the group actively works to create an environment that is
inclusive, diverse, and equal. This group identifies what continues to
discourage new members and changes its practices to create more
equity. When an organization is multicultural, they actively include
those who bring in different groups, viewpoints, and styles. This group
continually changes to welcome all.

Movement that I recognized how uneducated I was about social
movements. After witnessing the news, I began to research ways to
be an ally and became more aware of discrimination. Last semester,
through my oncampus job, I had the opportunity to attend a SafeZone
training session. Through this, I learned more about the LGBTQ+
community and the discrimination many face on a college campus.
After this, I began to host more inclusion and diversity events for Delta

proficiency of critical thinking 100 critical thinker. When someone is thinking, they are often left to their
biased ideals when cultivating a response or asking a question.
There are a few components to critical thinking. Critical thinking is
defined as “mode of thinking...in which the thinker improves the
quality of their thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures
inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them”
(Defining Critical Thinking)). In short, a true critical thinker raises vital
questions and problems, formulating them clearly. They also gather
and assess all relevant information and interpret it effectively to
come to conclusions. Thinking open-mindedly and communicating
the problem efficiently. A critical thinker is self-disciplined,
self-monitored, and self-directed when it comes to cultivating the
right information. I believe I critically think when working on ECN
homework. My ECN class is asynchronous and only taught by a few
20 min lectures. When I take my notes, I write down information I
feel will benefit me when I look back on my notes and I also write
down questions that I have when comprehending the information. I
often meet with the TA to discuss the information and make sure I
understand it correctly.

straightforward to help get the information I am in need of. I also
have developed new study habits to help me analyze information

knowledge of active listening sharing the difference between listening and hearing. I use these
techniques words interchangeable and was shocked to learn their true meaning.
First off, hearing is just receiving the noise waves. But listening is
interpreting these noises and giving feedback. There are five
techniques that help with active listening. In my communication class,
we learned about the five stages of listening. This was created by
Joseph DeVito and defines what it means to truly actively listen. The
first stage is receiving. The listen is receiving the information in turn
makes for the listener to understand, the second stage. Here the
information is translated into something that listener can mentally
obtain. Next, is remembering. This step is essential as remembering
the information received helps with knowing now to respond.
Evaluating is the next stage, and here the listener is deciding what
information should be kept and what should be forgotten, in lack of
better terms. Lastly is responding. In this last stage, the listener is
now taking all 4 previous steps and combining the information
received to create something they can reply with.

think of a response.

what this role was responsible for. As VPPA, my job is to create
events that are of relevance to the chapter’s members. For the
events I scheduled this semester, I sent out a google form to see
what my chapter was most interested in learning about. I also took
into consideration the day people were available to attend events,
types of events that would hold their attention, and marketed the
events to gain interest. Another way I showed active listening was
after each event, I wanted to receive feedback. I would ask what was
most interesting to them, what they didn’t like, or hope for next time.
Through this, I was able to create the events my chapter wanted to
attend.

leading meetings of the business world. I have led four meetings this semester with
speakers from across the country in a variety of fields. The first steps
in organizing a meeting is knowing what you are wanting in the
meeting. For me, in the beginning of the semester, I listed a few
ideas of events I wanted to host before the school year ended. I then
posted this list on a Facebook Group where speakers and VPPA
share ideas/ look for speakers. There, multiple individuals reached
out to me regarding topics they would like to share, and we swapped
contact information. Through this contact information, I would set up
a time to meet virtually to discuss their ideas and share what I am
looking for in the event. After this conversation, we would set a date
to host the event. A few days before the event, I would reach out
again with a review of what we discussed and reminder of time.
When leading the event, I introduce the speaker/speakers and share
information that they would like me to share about themselves. After
they present, I often have a few questions prepared to ask and then
open it to the rest of my chapter. After the event, I also send a “thank
you” email. I feel this process has worked well for me and I continue
to use it to have successful events.

learned a lot about how to handle communication better with others and my
chapter. When I recognized the speaker was not going to show up, I told my
chapter that the event was canceled and thanked them for still coming. I
ended up talking to our speaker and shared that with miscommunication the

making decisions to see a different perspective. Specifically, in HDF 190,
Emma was my Peer Leader, but more importantly she was a friend. Emma
helped ease my worries when it came to group projects, individual work,
and due dates. She helped me come to my own conclusions about what to do
while sharing input on what she thinks would work best. Emma also
encouraged me to apply for a leadership position and believed in me when I
was second guessing myself. This is a true mentorship as she works with me
but also pushes me to do better. An example of me mentoring is through my
position as co-coordinator for the Class of 2024 Freshman Orientation at my
high school. My position allowed me to mentor about 20 peer leaders on
different topics ranging from how to welcome the new freshman, how the
day should run, and other details. It was important for me to establish
relationships, much like Emma, to ease the nerves of those who I mentored.
After a successful day, I was proud of my mentees and appreciated all they
had done to help the day run as smooth as possible.

peers for feeling comfortable with me and the group.
