sorority. With night events, new member meetings, socials on the weekends, and mandatory
chapter meetings every Sunday I knew I needed to work on my time management
skills. I have always been a very organized person, and this helped me to write
everything down on my desk calendar whether that be a basketball game, sorority
event, assignment due dates and other little things. I knew that I was going to be
much busier and my parents warned me that if I did not keep my grades up, I would
have to drop the sorority. I worked super hard first semester because I had a lot
riding on my grades so I made sure to set aside enough time every day to finish all
assignments and to spend time studying for any upcoming tests or quizzes. Being
on my own is very different than having your parents tell you what to do all the
time at home. I knew that I had to prove myself and after working super hard first
semester I made the Dean’s List for the fall semester and my parents were so proud
of me. It was worth staying organized and really working on my time management
skills because I was able to balance school and the sorority and it payed off in the
end.
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF190 Got in a fight with my First semester started off great. I got along so well with my roommate and
manage emotions roommate and had to keep suitemates and I did not know how anything could go wrong. A few weeks later,
my emotions in check. my roommate started to become more distant and never left the room or went
anywhere with my suitemates and me. I was so confused because she acted like we
were excluding her when I was inviting her everywhere, we went but she just would
not come. I struggled for a few weeks because my living situation was super
awkward. Later, she started staying home every night because she lived 20 minutes
from campus. This started to really effect my emotions because I was so far away
from home and all my roommates lived in RI, so it was hard for me when
sometimes I was the only one in our suite. Not having a roommate that lived in the
room was super weird because I never knew if she was staying or going. My
suitemate and I later went to our RA and wanted to move into the same room
together because both of our roommates went home often and we thought it would
be easier to just live in the same room and put the two of them in the same room
since they barely stayed the night on campus. My roommate got furious at this idea
and told the RA she did not want to speak to me and wrote out in our roommate
contract that I wasn’t allowed to cross her side of the room and I wasn’t even
allowed to speak to her. I thought this was ridiculous and got super upset because
she was blowing this way out of proportion. The next day I left the vacuum on her
Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 7
side of the room because she refused to clean all of her hair out of the bottom and
when she came back from class she picked up the vacuum and threw it at my head
while my back was turned to her. I was in total shock and put the vacuum back on
her side and pushed her back as she threw it at me again. She then ran out of the
room and called the police on me and told them I assaulted her. Next thing I know
the police are in my room at 9:30 in the morning and I have to fill out a police
report because she accused me of assault when she was the one that threw a vacuum
at me twice! It was so hard for me to control my emotions in this situation, I was
furious, shocked, upset, and I honestly did not even know what to say because so
many emotions were rolling through me. I knew I had to stay calm so I could
explain my story to the police and later that day she was forced to move out by the
police and it is now on school record that she was the one that assaulted me as I was
using self-defense. This was the craziest day of my life and one of the most
overwhelming. I knew that I needed to compose myself and manage my emotions
and it worked out in my favor that day.

stress management methods working out, washing my and more assignments kept piling on top of each other, I knew that the first step was
face, and eating healthy. to take care of myself. My stress management methods are making sure I get
enough exercise each day, eating healthy, washing my face, and staying positive.
What helps me the most is taking classes at the gym, my friends and I would sign
up to do yoga, a strength class, or even cycling and its crazy how much better I felt
after exercising for 30-45 minutes each day. This was my time to really let
everything in my mind go and to just enjoy the moment without technology or
social media. I think this is key for everyone to stay unplugged from your devices
for at least an hour a day. Next thing I do is try to eat healthy. It’s hard to eat
healthy in the dining halls, but I would make sure to have some sort of fruits in the
morning and vegetables with lunch and dinner. I always feel better when I eat the
whole food pyramid each day. With finals coming up, I knew I had to eat enough
fruits and vegetables to give me the energy I needed to focus on studying and
finishing up projects. Next before bed I make sure to shower and wash off all my
makeup and then clean my face. I notice a huge difference when I sleep in my
makeup and I wake up feeling gross and dirty. If I wash my face before I go to bed,
I wake up feeling refreshed and the hot water from the shower really calms me
down before bed. Lastly, I make sure to stay positive. Having a negative energy can
really affect your entire day so I try to avoid all the negative thoughts and keep my
head up. Hanging out with friends every day allows me to stay positive because I
know that they can always put a smile on my face.
5. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF190 Making sure I was taking care Once finals week approached, suddenly, my stress levels were through the roof. I

organized person, so I made sure to make a schedule for enough time to study for
each exam on certain days. I started off going to the library with friends and we
would sit on the second floor like we always have and I felt like I was becoming
more stressed out trying to study with friends and I just needed to focus without any

my sorority when I ran for a was able to apply them when running for a position on the honor board for my
position. sorority. Being on honor board is a very serious position where if anyone gets in
trouble, they report to the honor board to determine what will happen next. I had to
present in front of my chapter why I thought I would be good for a position on the
honor board and I used my five values to inform my chapter that I am fit to hold a
position. Being on the honor board means having a lot of responsibility and you
also work as a team to determine what is going to happen to whoever gets sent to
honor board. I have already demonstrated a lot of leadership skills within my
chapter which allowed them to be confident in appointing me for the position.
Lastly, I treat every member of my chapter with kindness and respect. I was always
taught to treat people the way I want to be treated and I think this really pays off in
the long run. I was appointed a position on the honor board, and I am honored that I
have earned the trust from the girls in my chapter.
10. Student will demonstrate the ability to COM100 I was able to lead my group In COM100 we do a ton of speeches throughout the semester, for our final project,
Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 9
lead a project from start to finish (follow- project and we worked hard we were assigned into groups of 4 and got to choose a topic that we would then
through) to earn an A. present to the class for exactly 25 minutes. This project was very hard because not
only did our project have to be exactly 25 minutes, but we would lose points for any
time over or under this time mark. The project had to be in the form of a Petch
Kutcha which is a video presentation that changes slides every minute. We needed
to have 20 slides and then do some form of a class teach in for the last 5 minutes of
the presentation. I made sure to make a group chat with my group that way we
could all meet up in the library a few days a week to make sure our project was
perfectly timed out so we would not lose points. First, we evenly split up the slides
amongst the 4 of us which meant 5 slides per person. We then timed ourselves
saying each slide that way we were under the 20-minute mark for the Petch Kucha.
Once we had all our slides done, we ran through the entire Petch Kucha a few times
to make sure our timing was just right. I then suggested we create a Kahoot to recap
our presentation which would count as our teach in and conclude our presentation
right at the 25-minute mark. We created the Kahoot and only added 10 questions to
make sure it would not take too long. When presentation day finally arrived, we felt
very prepared and our presentation went smoothly, and we landed on the 25-minute
mark exactly. Our professor was very impressed and gave us a 100 on our final
project. Executing this project made me feel good because it took a lot of time and
effort, but at the end of it all it was so worth the grade we received.

me. I walked in on the first day and most of my class was sophomores and juniors
with only a few freshmen. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to
be and I knew I needed to spend a lot of time studying and going to office hours in
order to finish this class with a good grade. This semester I am now taking BUS210
which is managerial statistics. I knew I had to focus during this class because this
was another course that would count towards my COB gpa. I will continue to set
goals for myself next semester so I will be able to get into the COB. My overall
goal is to get all A’s and B’s throughout the next 3 years.

grades brought up my grade. I ended this course with a B which kind of upset me
because I really wanted an A. I did not know what to expect coming into this class
at the beginning of the semester, but I tried my hardest and that is what matters
most. This semester I am taking BUS210 and I have worked so hard this semester
and right now I have a 98 which will hopefully have me end with an A in the
course. It was worth setting goals for myself because it pushed me to work harder
and to care about my grades. Not everyone has a great mentality when it comes to
13. Student will show knowledge of the HDF190 Breakdown of Maslow’s The “Hierarchy of Needs” theory by Maslow is characterized into 5 different
“Hierarchy of Needs” theory by Maslow Hierarchy of Needs categories. These include self-actualization, esteem, love and belonging, safety
needs, and physiological needs. The Hierarchy of Needs refers to the physical needs
of human beings. Self-actualization is the highest level of psychological
development which indicates personal growth and working to the best of your
ability to become the best person you can be. Esteem needs are the basis of human
desire which means working towards goals for your self-esteem and self-
confidence. Love and belonging needs are all about feeling accepted, feeling like
you have a purpose in this world, and most importantly the love you share between
others. Safety needs are the constant need to feel protected and secured. Some
examples of safety needs include shelter, health care, and job security. Lastly are
the physiological needs which have been broken down into three main fundamental
physiological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. These three needs are
essential in a person’s health development and are essential basic human needs.
14. Student will show application of Maslow’s HDF190 Applying Maslow’s theory of After getting a further understanding of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I was able to
theory to own life needs to my everyday routine. apply what I have learned to my everyday routine. Self-actualization are the basic
human needs which mean. When I start my morning, my psychological needs tell
me to get up, go to the bathroom, and put my contacts in. Next, are the safety needs
and I apply these by looking out my window and just taking in what is going on
outside and being aware of my surroundings. Love and belonging needs come next
which I am reminded of every day. I make sure to tell my friends and family that I
love them and when they say it back, I feel loved and like I belong. My esteem
needs are next, these are the hardest needs to fulfill for me because with finals
approaching, I feel stress building upon me. I make sure to write down all my
assignments for the day and to set my phone aside so I can accomplish my tasks for
the day. Lastly, self-actualization is when I reflect on my day and see all that I have
accomplished. This is the most rewarding step because I can feel proud of my self
for staying focused and motivated throughout my day and can finally take a deep
breath and relax.

examples of application (Source = Gallup) counselor for Alpha Xi Delta. I disagree with. I had already taken the Strengths assessment prior to HDF190 and
met with the leadership coach of my sorority, Alpha Xi Delta. She talked me
through all my strengths, defined what they mean, and how I can apply them to my
own leadership styles. Communication is my top strength because I feel that I work
very well with people and I am never afraid to work in a group or ask someone for
help. I believe that it is very important to be able to ask for advice even as a leader.
Woo is my most unique strength because I truly love meeting new people and I will
not hesitate to reach out to someone and help make them feel included. I personally
identify with positivity the most because for me personally, I always do the best
work when I have a positive attitude therefore, I feel that I am good at encouraging
others and bringing a positive vibe to the environment. Responsibility defines me
because I am a very organized person and make sure to complete all my tasks and
assignments on time and I make sure to uphold any promises that I may have made.
Lastly, consistency ties in well with positivity because I make sure to treat people
fairly because I know that that is how I want to be treated in any environment. I was
also able to discover a lot about myself and my strengths at the retreat. This helped
me open about my leadership styles and allowed me to use my strengths to learn
from others.
18. Student will describe personal leadership HDF190 Leadership Institute In HDF190, I have obtained a lot of information especially regarding my strengths
style and/or personality style including and weaknesses. At Institute over the summer, I used many of my strengths in
strengths and weaknesses and examples action while participating in group work and during the challenge course. My
of application (Sources = Leadership style
number one strength is communication and I applied this all throughout the
inventories, the L.P.I., Type Focus
(MBTI), LAMP, DISC, and other career weekend, but especially during the activities such as guiding your partner while
inventories, etc.) being blindfolded, the chicken and the sheet exercise, and especially coming up
with solutions on the challenge course. I have always been comfortable with public
speaking and this has really helped me to dive right into group work.
Communication was key at Institute and I was able to apply this strength many
times. Another one of my strengths that I used a lot was positivity. It is always so
important to encourage all your team members and on the challenge course this was
super important. When we got frustrated and could not come to a decision on how
to execute an obstacle, we took a moment to rethink it and kept encouraging new
ideas. My weakness as a leader is being the first one to speak up. I usually wait for
someone to take the reigns first before voicing my opinion on something. Institute
taught me that when working in a group, everyone’s opinions are important and that
I would not be judged for stating what I believe in. I definitely learned a lot at
Institute, and I am thankful that I was able to learn more about my strengths in
HDF190 that I will apply to my future leadership opportunities.

by Greenleaf Greenleaf and understanding of leading people based on your initial will to serve rather than feeling that you are
the concepts. entitled to serve. There are 10 characteristics of Servant Leadership and I will go in
depth about each one and how they help create a well-rounded servant leader. The
first characteristic is Listening, this is a very important characteristic because I
believe it is the basis or structure to any good leader. With listening, you have you
focus and be aware of what is being said within the group and building upon that to
create something and further the growth within the group. Next is empathy, within
any group everyone should feel safe and comfortable in voicing their opinions and
this can be accomplished by establishing a safe environment for everyone in the
group. Healing is the third characteristic which is important regarding helping
others with whatever they may need to feel whole again. Awareness is important as
it is essential for understanding issues if they might come up and how to overcome
them. Persuasion is more for the leader of the group when they are coming to a
common agreement and must add some persuasion into the occasion.
Conceptualization is all about stretching your ordinary thinking to create broader-
based conceptual thinking. Foresight is incorporating what you have learned from
the past, present, envisioning the future to envision the outcome. Stewardship is
incorporating openness and persuasion to put serving others above anything else on
your list. Commitment to the growth of people is the servant leaders’ initial goal of
every group member’s individual growth. Lastly, building community indicates that
the servant leader can identify some means for creating and building community

that are less fortunate. and I tried to see what I could do to ease some of the stress in people’s lives. My
brother and I went to the grocery store and bought multiple items that we packaged
up and brought to our high school. Our high school was participating in a food drive
program where people could donate food and other items and they would be evenly
distributed to families in need. I thought this was a great cause because it was
giving back directly to my peers and my family at Columbia High School. During
these hard times it is so important to put others first and to do all that you can for
those in need. I also went through my closet and found things that no longer fit and
things I did not need to donate them to less fortunate kids. I am so fortunate and
thankful for all that my family does for me and all that they are able to provide for
my brother and I so I wanted to do something to give back to other kids in my
community.

“Social Change Model of Leadership Social Change Model of HDF190. This model is centered around 3 major values which are individual,
Development” by Astin et al Leadership Development by group, and society/community values. The seven C’s for social change make up
Astin et al what is within the three values and these include: Consciousness of self,
Congruence, Commitment, Collaboration, Common Purpose, Controversy with
Civility, and Citizenship. In the Group values category, Collaboration, Common
Purpose and Controversy with Civility are the three characteristics that make up
group values. Collaboration is a very important characteristic because it is all about
working with others and discussing what everyone is going to do in order to
accomplish something. Common Purpose is being on the same page with your
entire group and making sure you all have a common purpose within the group.
Lastly, Controversy with Civility means being able to recognize that everyone is
different and will work differently within the group. This is super important in
being able to accept that everyone is different and adjusting the way the group
works in order to fit everyone’s learning styles. The second value is individual
values which consists of Consciousness of self, Congruence and Commitment.
Consciousness of self means that you can recognize people’s values, beliefs and
different emotions that allow them to take action and lead. Second is Congruence
which indicates what a person is thinking, feeling, and how they are acting and
relating that to how they work. Lastly for individual values is Commitment. This is
putting all of your dedication and effort into whatever you are working on and
sticking with that. It is doing your best and never giving up on what you believe in.
For the last value, Society/Community values the characteristic that corresponds to
this value is Citizenship. This is one of the most important characteristics of the
social change model because it is how your group comes together to lead your
community and how you are going to work together to create change and better the
community. The Social Change Model of Leadership Development has taught me
that there are many elements that go into creating social change, and if you
incorporate all of the values and characteristics that are within these values, you can
truly create remarkable change.

of the above theory (Astin et al) details of the social change our social change proposal, we chose the strategy which states: Continue to increase

denied involvement in mainstream activities i.e.. groups like African Americans).

We thought that this was super important because every year thousands of students
are selected to contribute to the next future class at URI. Our first step in
completing this project was a group facetime that allowed us to really talk out the
project and see what we needed to focus on the most. We decided the best way to
go about the project was to split up the what, why, and how sections and evenly
distribute the work amongst the 7 of us. Collaboration, Common Purpose and
Controversy with Civility are the three characteristics that make up group values
which I believe we all did very well. First is collaboration which we did by having
our group facetime and splitting up the work. Next is common purpose, which
allowed all of us to be on the same page in getting the project done on time and
effectively. Lastly, controversy with civility was the major one that allowed us all
to realize that we all work at a different pace so we decided to make a deadline
which everyone would have to finish their sections by and then we later discussed
how we would execute the project to the entire class. Overall, I think my group did
a great job and once we applied the 3 C’s for group values, the project got done
very quickly.

decision making methods COM100 up with a decision-making courses. I came across 5 decision making methods which include: voting, ranking,
PRS100 method that works best. scoring, multiple votes and voting rounds and Iterative convergence. The first
decision making method is voting which entails your group to raise their hands and
to vote based on a majority rule. This can be effective if the vote is anonymous
which would allow people to vote based on their true opinions without feeling
pressure from someone else. Next is ranking which means you would rank the
options available to clearly indicate to what degree the preferences converge.
Scoring is the third decision making method and this means you would potentially
score each choice on many different elements which would make this decision
much more in depth. The scoring method allows you to see a side by side
comparison of other options and be able to clearly chose the best option with the
higher score. The next method is multiple votes and voting rounds which means
that people have multiple votes and at the end of the voting, the options with the
most votes move on to the next round and this method keeps repeating until you
are left with the best option. The last decision-making method is iterative
convergence were group members would make certain suggestions and then other
group members would give anonymous feedback and this method is done in
rounds giving the group members time to update and modify their ideas over time
in order to reach the best solution. Overall, I think these 5 decision making
methods are all very useful when working in groups. I personally have used the
voting method while working on a group project and now that I am aware of the
other four decision making methods, I will try new ones to see if they work better
for me in a group setting.
