Executive Summary Reflection

You will create a brief executive summary document as a means of reflection before the term ends.

This executive summary will highlight your accomplishments as a student here at  University.  You will focus on summarizing your notable academic achievements, extracurricular activities, awards and accolades, and personal development.  Stop and reflect on how you have changed over the past few years due to your experience here at University.  Consider the  Core values when writing your reflection and discuss how your experiences are aligned with these values such as personal development, integrity, excellence, and community.  You do not need to discuss all of the core values, but your essay needs to include at least 2 of them.

The examples you provide will serve to highlight your professional and academic growth.  Also consider that prospective employers may read this summary, so feel free to customize this to suit a particular job or perhaps graduate school program.  This is your opportunity to “sell” yourself.

The summary will be written in double spaced times new roman 10 to 12 pt font. Use 1 inch margins on the pages.  The summary will be no more than 2 pages in length.  This assignment will count 5% towards your final grade in this course and it is a requirement for your degree completion.
