Teamwork and Leadership: Students create and sustain a culture of trust, vision, and continuous improvement that adds value to an organization or community through their appropriate deference (emotional intelligence) and leadership (initiative).

Communication: Students demonstrate their ability to effectively communicate verbally and in writing to diverse audiences and in diverse modes and environments for mutual understanding and edification.

Problem Solving: Students demonstrate their ability to understand a problem (critical thinking), find the appropriate resources and evidence to inform their decisions (informational literacy), and produce effective solutions (creative thinking).
