Spring Semester First Year:  Have conversation with more faculty member in the social work field

1)      What are the requirements/prerequisites? What is your plan to gain access?

1. I mean there’s not a lot to do but I’ll ask lots of unanswered questions. Also try to build some small bonds with the faculty members I’m involved with.

3)      How will it benefit your purposeful exploration, personal, professional and/or civic growth?

1. Benefits from this are, understanding what I’m getting myself into when its time to declare a major. Or it could also show me that maybe social work isn’t my major and I should look for another one.

Fall Semester Second Year: Join the Phuture Phoenix program

3)      How will it benefit your purposeful exploration, personal, professional and/or civic growth?

1. The benefit from this high impact experience would be the benefit of helping the youth and being a positive role model in their life. To give the youth a sense of if he did it I can too. There are a lot of kids that come from bad background and have problems. Most won’t go to college if they aren’t shown they can do it and if there’s no one backing them up.

Spring Semester Second Year: Attend the spring study abroad fair/ and study abroad

2. The requirements for studying abroad are, at least 2 years of college German or equivalent, 2.75 cumulative G.P.A, personal maturity and flexibility, and the approval of a professor in the UW-Green Bay German program. The plan to gain access would be attend the spring study abroad fair on February 7^th. Also, I should take a college foreign language to meet requirements.

2)      What will you do in the experience?

1. There is so many different things I could do during the experience of studying abroad. If I do a summer faculty-led travel course I could go to Spain for Spanish, I could go to Slovakia for music and nursing, and Portugal for business/entrepreneurship. If I do a semester or year-long I could be a student teacher, or I could study in France, Germany, Denmark, and many more places.

3)      How will it benefit your purposeful exploration, personal, professional and/or civic growth?

1. The benefits from studying abroad would change my life in so many ways. For example, the culture change and the different people I’ll end up meeting would change my life. Also the learning experience would probably have such a impact on me then and in the future.
