Why Strengths?
Our goal at OWU is to encourage and inspire a shared language for understanding ourselves and each other as we deepen engagement, increase self-confidence, and support the Ohio Wesleyan's "ultimate purpose of equipping students with knowledge, competence, and character for leadership, service, and continued learning in a complex and increasingly global society."
With the OWU Strengths Assessment, we aim to:
-
Create a campus environment focused on strengths that empowers students, faculty, and staff with a common language to be more strategic, inclusive, collaborative, and exceptional.
-
Understand and use OWU Strengths so that we can achieve greater collaborative success as individuals and as an institution.
-
Give students, faculty & staff the tools/language to better understand themselves.
-
Develop effective and confident leaders who can positively influence the world.
-
Energize and inspire all members of the campus community so that everyone sees their strengths as valuable to both themselves and OWU's mission
To the extent that Ohio Wesleyan educates liberally, it fulfills its ultimate purpose of equipping students with knowledge, competence, and character for leadership, service, and continued learning in a complex and increasingly global society.
