"Articulate key elements of one’s set of personal beliefs and commitments (e.g., values, morals, goals, desires, self-definitions), as well as the source of each (e.g., self, peers, family, or one or more larger communities)" (ACPA & NASPA, 2015, p. 16).

• The self-reflection papers I have completed during my time as a graduate student at Bowling Green State University have enabled me to confidently articulate my beliefs, commitments and values.  Throughout the first three semesters of the program, I submitted monthly reflections as part of a CSP 6890: Supervised Field Experience in College Student Personnel course requirement.  In these assignments, I had a regular outlet to reflect on my graduate school experience as well as how I was coming to understand my professional values, goals and commitments.  Further, as part of the CSP 6050: Capstone Seminar course, I completed the Personal Statement of Mission statement paper.  In this paper, I reflected on how I became involved with student affairs, my personal values (and the sources and consequences of each) and my professional values (and the sources and consequences of each). 
   

"Articulate awareness and understanding of one’s attitudes, values, beliefs, assumptions, biases, and identity how they affect one’s integrity and work with others" (ACPA & NASPA, 2015, p. 16).

• I was best able to articulate an awareness and understanding of how my attitudes, biases and identity influence collaboration and my integrity in my CSP 6035:  Multicultural Competence in Student Affairs critical reflection assignments.  These reflection papers tasked me to identify privileged and oppressed identities that affect how I interact in society.
