7. The Transformational Experience: Intersecting Spheres of Influence

8. Five key attributes define the CITYTerm experience

9. Self Confidence Description CITYterm alumni possess a strong sense of who they are and what they can achieve. This allows them to think independently and take ownership of their education and their future. Through collaboration, leadership and self-exploration, students emerge from the program with a sense of empowerment and self-possession that enables them to handle whatever comes their way. Measuring Impact Short term surveys: Self-Efficacy Survey for General Learning or Self-Efficacy Survey for Content-Based Learning

11. Curiosity Description Curiosity is the desire for knowledge in the face of uncertainty and the persistent exploration of new possibilities. CITYTerm continuously exposes students to rich and meaningful experiences, teaches them to ask thought-provoking questions, and reminds them of the great joy of learning. Students graduate with the skills to handle life’s many twists and turns, excel at adapting to new environments, and continue to be life-long learners. Measuring Impact Short term Survey: Self reported and peer reported observations of behaviors demonstrating curiosity Long term: Survey questions on: Job placement, industry-type, trajectory Passionate hobbies Number/type of post-bachelors degrees Resiliency, adaptability, curiosity

12. Self Awareness Description Self-awareness gives students the ability to understand how and why they behave in certain ways, how they project their identity to others, and subsequently, how they can take control of the situations they face.CITYterm fosters this self-reflection through a semester-long dorm experience, a novel curriculum, and a system of peer and teacher feedback. These tools work in conjunction to push students to better and more consciously understand their identity. Measuring Impact Short term: comparative review of... 360* Review or Reflected Best Self or Self Portrait

13. Problem Solving Description Problem solving refers to a student’s ability to approach ambiguous, challenging, and difficult tasks with ease and success. CITYterm presents student with numerous “moments of disequilibrium,” repeatedly engaging students with challenging open-ended problems, girding these experiences with strategic support and wide/numerous resources. Thus, students develop “muscle memory” that better-equips them when approaching these problems in the future. Measuring Impact Short term: Problem Solving Instrument
