I've served as the Research and Assessment
Intern for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion for two years. Through Research, Creative and Scholarly Activities,
I have gained a greater understanding of Global and Cultural Competencies
and Leadership.
I dissected the structure and objectives of the following theories:
Identity Diversity Development, Social Change Model of Leadership, Miami
Spectrum of Service, Marginality and Mattering Theory and Intercultural
Knowledge Value Theory.
I discovered how these theories correlated with the mission of the Office of
Diversity and Inclusion and tied into the levels of transformation utilized in
UCO Student Transformative Learning Record.
I have combined creative and technical skill
to fulfill the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s artistic vision: the
quantifiable assessment of student growth in “knowledge, skills and attitudes,”
which is usually qualitative and often intangible.
Through research, attention to details, appropriate contextualization, cross-referencing
information, and tolerance for ambiguity in considering various possibilities I
have become transformed in the UCO STLR Tenant of Research, Creative and
Scholarly Activities.
This has been a great experience, and I believe the UCO Student Transformative Learning Record does give a competitive edge in the job market.
