Student Action Items

Madeline Munro
Woo
Whatever you are doing, keep yourself involved with people. Study in places where there are other
students around, like the common area in your residence hall or an off-campus coffee shop.
Balance your academics with extracurricular activities so you have plenty of social time.
Introduce yourself to a lot of people in a wide variety of jobs. Broad exposure will give you a better
idea of possible careers, and it could provide you with important professional and social
connections for the future.
If youre looking for a part-time job, gravitate toward companies on or off campus that employ and
serve students. Working at a business where other students are your coworkers and customers
will allow you to meet more people you go to school with. Or use your Woo talents to persuade a
business to give you a paid internship.
Consider becoming an orientation leader on campus. You will enjoy meeting newcomers and
visitors and helping get people connected right away.
Input
Identify areas of specialization within your major, and actively pursue more information about
them. Connect with faculty who work in those areas, and pick their brains outside of class.
Knowing when to stop digging is just as valuable as your thirst for information. Set a time limit on
your internet searches so you will be able to get your schoolwork done. Mark the best sites so you
can return to them when you have free time.

Other students might see you as a leader because they know you are resourceful and aware of
recent developments and information. Let people know that you enjoy answering their questions
and researching their pressing issues. Use your Input talents to connect with classmates, and look
for a leadership role on campus where you can use what you collect.
Communication
Which of your professors are good listeners? Meet with them several times throughout the term,
and take advantage of the fact that they expect you to do most of the talking. You crave the
undivided attention good listeners provide, and these conversations will energize your
Communication talents.
When you were engaged in conversation today, did you notice how people reacted to what you
said? Did you capture their attention or get them to laugh? Use your Communication talents to
draw others in, especially those who are new to a group.
Some people think before they speak, and others think while they speak. Youre probably among
the latter you think out loud to process your ideas with others. Look for friends, professors or
classmates to be the audience you need to talk things through.
Find a friend or mentor with a lot of Empathy talent. This person can remind you to consider
others feelings when you are talking with them, which will make you a more thoughtful and
effective conversationalist. Practice active listening to show others that their opinions matter to
you.
Arranger
Organize routine activities, trips and parties for your residence hall, fraternity or sorority. Consider
off-campus venues that let you take advantage of the discounts that come with your student ID.
You will enjoy arranging details and schedules, and you and your friends will save money while
having fun. Partner with someone with strong Ideation talents to make the events even more fun
and creative.
Do you schedule study breaks to clear your mind? Consider blocking off time to make phone calls,
to meet with your friends, to go for a walk or to hit a workout class.
Read all of your degree requirements before enrolling in classes each semester. Are you on the
most financially efficient path to completing your degree? Meet with your adviser to ask questions
and make sure that your plan is the most cost-effective way to get your degree.
Get involved on campus or in your community, and stay busy. Explore community service
opportunities where you could help arrange routine activities, special events or projects.
Restorative
Think about school as a way to improve yourself. Cultivating your skills and knowledge might
increase your motivation to find solutions, particularly when you reflect on your progress.
Be careful not to get stuck focusing on whats wrong with your relationships. Make sure your
friends and roommates dont think that flaws and shortcomings are all you can see.
Volunteer with an organization that needs someone to breathe new life into its work. Intervening
and restoring vitality is what you do best.
