Questions

1. The Honors College at West Chester University celebrates scholarship and places equal weight on community engagement. With our motto, to be honourable is to serve, we seek students who work to define, implement, and assess action steps to strengthen their communities. We also emphasize collaborative and interdisciplinary work among students within honours classes and co-curricular activities through the Honors Student Association. Given this philosophy of honours, why would you be a good candidate?

2. Provide a bulleted list of up to 10 co-curricular, school, and community activities you found most valuable over the past four years. Number them clearly from one through ten in order of where you believe your presence made the most difference. Do not use acronyms; place any leadership positions in parentheses with each entry.

Briefly explain how the top four activities highlighted the following skill sets: service to others, verbal/speaking skills, logic/mathematic abilities, artistic/creative talents, athletic/physical abilities, or negotiation/bridge-building skills.

3. When faced with a group or organizational task to which you have little initial commitment, how do you motivate yourself to make a meaningful contribution? Illustrate a specific instance from your own experience.
