We were inspired by our own experiences after graduating and wondering, “What’s next?” We weren’t alone. The inability to answer this single, seemingly easy question was also problematic for our friends and peers. Few of them had concrete ideas about what they wanted to do with their lives. Their understanding of their options was usually very limited, and more determined by superficial and inaccurate stereotypes than the realities of the working world. Those who did have a vision for their future struggled to bring those ideas to life.
Starting with the class of 2023, Xello is an MPS graduation requirement! Students are required to complete 50% of tasks by the end of the first semester, and 100% of tasks by the end of the second semester each year. Students will receive a grade of "P" and .125 credits per semester if they meet these requirements. If not, they will receive a grade of "U" and will not earn credit.
