BUS 600 Week 1 Assignment Vision Statement
Vision Statement. Vision statements are used as a tool to
encourage you to consciously reflect on who you are
now, what transitions you will be making as you achieve
your degree and who you will be in five years. A vision
statement is a work in progress; you can reassess your
vision statement as you move through your Ashford
program. After watching the Dr. Randy Pausch lecture,
develop a 1-2 page vision statement (excluding title and
reference pages) – a picture, a snapshot -- of what your
life will look like in 5 years, taking into consideration
your educational achievements.
