Guiding Principles for Student
Work at The College of New Jersey
The accomplished and engaged learner:
- reasons incisively using the conceptual
structures and accepted methods of an academic or professional discipline.
- relishes challenging problems and
generates creative solutions using tools of analysis and inquiry.
- understands the complexity and
connectedness of the world and the value of divergent points of view.
- participates actively in the life of
the campus community and seeks ways to improve this and other communities in
which they live and work.
- reflects on the larger questions of
life in pursuing a path of meaning and purpose.
- recognizes that learning is a
self-directed endeavor and accepts responsibility for defining a path of
intellectual and personal growth.
