Co-Curricular Learning
Aligning Student Learning & Success
To ensure our students are prepared for life post-graduation, we map our programming to our T.I.G.E.R.S. learning framework, which is supported by core competencies established by research across disciplines such as NACE framework and NASPA competencies that supports the holistic growth and development of students. Weaving these best practices into the fabric of our campus culture, we ensure that every experience contributes to our students’ growth and success.
