How can it help me?

Your Square One is designed specifically for you - the college student. This program allows you to become the person you want to be through:

• Educational and inspirational enrichment. 
• Tips, hints, guidelines to help you develop new skills.
• Better understanding and leveraging your strengths and weaknesses.
• Preparing you for life after college.
• Making you think about what’s important to you (personal values, work ethics) before they are called into question.
• Better prepare you for challenging situations that arise.
• Help you decide which direction to take and plan to make it happen.

What do you mean by having a strong foundation?

Just like a house relies on the strength and integrity of its foundation to support the walls and roof that are built on top of it, you will rely on your personal strength and integrity as you build your life and career. It's everything that encompasses who you are and how you conduct yourself – your values, ethics, personality, motivation and talents. As these get stronger, great things lie ahead. Having a strong foundation will allow you to move forward with your life deliberately, passionately and successfully.

Here are some of the elements that make up Your Square One:

• Your integrity – always doing what you say you will do
• Your values – your rules regarding what you believe to be right and wrong
• Your work ethic – how you conduct yourself professionally and the beliefs that govern business decisions
• Your personal brand – how you present yourself (dress, handshake, speaking style); understanding and leveraging your unique qualities
• Your communication style – powerful and effective speaking, writing and listening skills
• Your network – building a strong network of connections and understanding how to use your network most effectively
• Your plan – goal setting and career development to get you where you want to be
• Your vision for the future – what you want your life to look like
