The Ready Experience

WHAT is The Ready Experience? 
The Ready Experience is the College's comprehensive initiative to provide extracurricular and co-curricular engagement opportunities that complement and support curricular learning in the classroom.

The Ready Experience focuses on three primary outcomes, college ready, career ready and life ready.

College Ready – The student uses core co-curricular skills to maximize their learning experience and success in and beyond the classroom.​

Career Ready – The student employs foundational workplace skills and professional competencies to effectively explore and launch their post-college careers.​

Life Ready – The student connects college and career skills to real world situations and challenges.​

WHY should students engage in The Ready Experience?
