Objectives:  I can...
-create a photo collage of my trip to UNC-G.
-compare LEC, CCCC, and UNC-G's mission statements.

1.  Warm Up

What was the most interesting or eye-opening part of our trip to UNC-G?

2.  ACA/AVID Survey

Please spend 5-10 minutes taking the AVID/ACA Survey.

3.  Venn Diagrams

Using LEC, CCCC, and UNC-G's mission statements, compare and contrast each school's mission and values using a Venn diagram.

Lee Early College:  
Lee Early College graduates will be collaborative and critical thinkers, effective communicators, lifelong learners with an enthusiasm for curiosity, responsible citizens through positive contributions to the community, scholars, technologically proficient, and workforce ready.

CCCC:
Central Carolina Community College serves as a catalyst for personal, community, and economic development by empowering people through education and training.

UNC-G:

UNCG is ...

• A learner-centered, accessible, and inclusive community fostering intellectual inquiry to prepare students for meaningful lives and engaged citizenship;
• An institution offering classes on campus, off campus, and online for degree-seeking students and life-long learners;
• A research university where collaborative scholarship and creative activity enhance quality of life across the life-span;
• A source of innovation and leadership meeting social, economic, and environmental challenges in the Piedmont Triad, North Carolina, and beyond; and
• A global university integrating intercultural and international experiences and perspectives into learning, discovery, and service.

4.  Photo Log

With a partner or individually you will write an entry in a photo-journal.

• This should be done in Google doc, Word, or another approved format.
• Your entry should include:

• What your day as a UNCG student is like
• At least 5 pictures (ideally ones that you took at UNCG, if not you use some from the web.)
• How your day addresses four out of the five components of the UNCG mission statement. Put the corresponding number next to where you address it in your journal.

For example, I will first talk about how UNCG is “A research university where collaborative scholarship and creative activity enhance quality of life across the life-span.”

My entry may start out like this:

 “I woke up early this morning, brewed a quick cup of full caf coffee, and trekked across campus to the math building. I am so close to being with my thesis, just a few more early mornings and I can submit it for review! So from 8-10 I used the computer lab to enter my data on various proofs of the Pythagorean Thoerem (3).”
