As Christians we are called to have a worldview that is different and distinctive
from the society that surrounds us. What are the key components of a biblical worldview?
How are they expressed in your academic life? This week, we examine two foundational
elements of a biblical worldview and three subtle steps that can lead us out of a
biblical worldview without fully realizing it.

There are two mindsets that have been shown to contribute to success: fixed mindset and growth mindset. Research shows that growth mindset leads to higher success in every area of life, especially academics. This session will demonstrate an activity that can be used to help students discuss, identify, and change the mindset they have. If we can help students change their mindset, then perhaps we can help them gain the self-efficacy they need to succeed at higher levels, both here at Southern and in their future calling.

A "relationship-rich" approach goes beyond traditional
teaching methods, advocating for a holistic view of education that recognizes the
importance of relationships in shaping a
positive and effective learning experience. It encourages student-professor and/or
colleague relationships to go beyond the curriculum and actively cultivate an environment
where meaningful connections can be created and thrive. In this session, the presentation
will emphasize this pivotal role of building meaningful relationships in the realm
of education.

Some of our students arrive on campus with a prior understanding of degrees and majors,
advisors and minors, prerequisites and electives. They have parents and grandparents
who have often shared their own Southern or other college stories around the dinner
table. Other students, however, may be the first in their family to attend college
and lack the same understanding of the college path - yet they come to us with courage,
aspirations, academic skills, talents, determination, and faith.
The label “First Generation College Student” is often characterized by what FirstGen
may lack. Using an asset-based approach, we can redefine the label and instead characterize
FirstGen by what they bring to our campus.
