This senior reorientation module provides guidance to graduating students on goal setting, values, ethics, mentors, global citizenship, and reflection as they transition out of college. It encourages students to develop 5-year goals plans, examine their values, identify qualities to look for in mentors, consider their role as global citizens, and reflect on how their college experiences have shaped them. Students are prompted to think about how principles from the modules can influence their goals, decisions, and role in society post-graduation.
