Faculty "gut" reactions about desired outcomes

At the February plenary meeting of the Martin Luther College faculty, the "question of the month" from this blog was posed to MLC faculty members, seeking their quick, instinctive reactions to our big question:
What knowledge, skills and attitudes should ALL graduates of MLC end up acquiring?

At the following link, you can read a report concerning the faculty's brief reactions:

Describe (in general) an MLC graduate

Time for another Question of the Month! ... Okay, well, actually it's a new question about every other month. :-)

A big part of planning general education for a college is thinking in terms of the OUTCOME we want at the end of the process. So for the January/February Question of the Month, we ask you to think about what kind of person comes out as a graduate of our college. Think NOT in terms of job-specific competencies (like Biblical languages for pastors or pedagogical techniques for teachers). Rather, think in general:
What knowledge, skills and attitudes should ALL graduates of MLC end up acquiring?
  • What should every MLC graduate know?
  • What should every MLC graduate be able to do?
  • What should every MLC graduate have as desirable dispositions or qualities?
