Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

159 ACTIVITY 34: LAST DAY REVIEW FOR FINAL SEMINAR OBJECTIVES: REFLECT ON EXPERIENCE IN THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM. TASK: POST FINAL EPORTFOLIO REFLECTION. One of the goals of the Pathways Program is to prepare students to actively participate in their education at PSU. Personal, academic and professional growth are aspects of a well-rounded educational experience, with experiences outside of course work having equal importance to experiences in the classroom. This is especially true for international students. This is the last activity of the term, and the last day of the Pathways Program. Congratulations!
