is the epicenter of all things student engagement. Students have a plethora of opportunities to get involved on campus through events and registered student organizations (RSOs).
On 鈥楥use Activities, leaders of RSOs can now tag events based on which of the attendees will gain from the event. Additionally, when students are searching for events to attend, they can now filter events based on the six Shared Competencies.
The Shared Competencies are:
- Ethics, Integrity, and Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
- Critical and Creative Thinking
- Scientific Inquiry and Research Skills
- Civic and Global Responsibility
- Communication Skills
- Information Literacy and Technological Agility
By tagging events with these Competencies, students are able to attend events that will provide them with transferable skills that will enrich their undergraduate experience.
Tagging events benefits students in many ways. It allows RSO leaders to create events that leave a lasting impact on attendees, while also challenging them to create events that further benefit the student body. Tagged events enable students to draw connections between their classroom, work experiences and involvement in a more causal setting. In addition to this, it grants students the opportunity to develop Competencies they are not already familiar with, without having to wait to register for classes. For example, if you have classes in your schedule that allow you to develop Scientific Inquiry and Research Skills, but do not have any classes currently in your schedule that are developing your Communication Skills, you can fill in this gap by attending Communication Skills events on 鈥楥use Activities.
The six Shared Competencies set 黑料不打烊 apart from other institutions due to the transferable skills students will gain to prepare for postgraduate opportunities. Watch the video below to learn more about event tagging in ‘Cuse Activities.
