1. Working in a Diverse Environment
Learning from people who are different from
you—and recognizing your commonalities—is an
important part of your education and essential
preparation for the world you will join.
2. Managing Time and Priorities
Managing how you spend your time, and on
what, is essential in today’s world. Learn how to
sort priorities so you stay in control of your life.
3. Acquiring Knowledge
Learning how to learn is just as important as the
knowledge itself. No matter what your future
holds, you’ll continue to learn every day of your
life.
4. Thinking Critically
Developing solid critical thinking skills means
you’ll be confident to handle autonomy, make
sound decisions, and find the connection
between opportunities you have to learn and
how those opportunities will affect your future.
5. Communicating Effectively
Developing listening, interpreting, and speaking
skills is just as important as reading and writing.
6. Solving Problems
You may only have thought about problemsolving
when you’re faced with a crisis.
Understand the process and mind-set of successful
problem-solving and you’ll more easily handle
the bigger challenges that come your way
7. Contributing to a Team
In the workplace each person’s contribution is
essential to success. Having the ability to work
collaboratively with others is vital. This includes
identifying individual strengths (yours and
others) and harnessing them for the group,
building consensus, knowing when to lead and
when to follow, and appreciating group dynamics.
8. Navigating Across Boundaries
Life is filled with boundaries—good and bad.
Discover how to avoid the boundaries that
become barriers so you don’t hamper the ability
to collaborate with other people.
9. Performing with Integrity
It only takes one bad instance to destroy years
of good faith and good relationships. It’s
important to develop a code of ethics and
principles to guide your life.
10. Developing Professional Competencies
The end of college is the beginning of a new
education. Build on what you already know and
keep learning new skills—your job will challenge
you to grow and develop in ways you haven’t
imagined yet.
11. Balancing Work and Life
You’ve got a lot to accomplish in limited time.
How do you get it all done and still stay sane?
The key is maintaining balance among the
different parts of your life.
12. Embracing Change
Just about every aspect of life is in a constant
state of change. Sometimes it may seem that no
sooner do you get caught up than you have to
start all over again. No matter how you feel
about change, you have to learn to deal with it.
