Developmental Expectations
The Individual Development through Educational Activities
Planner encourages students to use university and community resources
(e.g. libraries, student organizations, programming events, health facilities,
career services, and museums) to enhance personal growth. The IDEA Planner
identifies a wide variety of events, activities, and opportunities that
not only utilize these facilities, but also contribute to acquiring knowledge
and developing skills. These opportunities are divided into the nine developmental
