Student Value Propositions

Student value propositions help illustrate institutional goals and priorities that support the success of every student. The 150 committee and leadership transitioned the most distinct aspects of WestX into student value propositions and incorporated feedback from the campus community.

• All students will participate in outdoor learning activities, so that they understand the importance of the natural world to human health and happiness.
• All students will develop a personal wellness approach, so that they have the knowledge, skills, and commitment to thrive amidst stress, complexity, and ambiguity.
• All students will apply their learning to leadership in a variety of social, community and professional contexts, developing self-awareness, empathy, inclusion, and the ability to empower others and inspire change.
• All students will engage in paid internships, scholarship, professional or clinical experience, or field studies so that they expand their application of knowledge, create career confidence, and boost earning potential.
