The Choice Board offers students 18 activities to choose from that span across the Brinson Touchstones. Based on your own interest, goals, and passions, select 2 activities to complete in a selected touchstone area. These can be a deep dive into one Path ("Exploration" or "Go For It") or can be an exploration into two Paths (Career Development and Community Service), spanning "Exploration" and "Go For It" activities. It is your choice! Follow the instructions for the options provided in each Path (for example, you can complete activity 1 or 2 in Career Development, not both). You’ll incorporate your experience into your USI 101 Portfolio and learning plan, so be sure to consider how the activities you complete fit into your portfolio and "big picture" learning plan.
Select one or more touchstones from the tabs at the top.
For each touchstone you want to determine if you wish to "Explore" OR "Go For It", and select activities that correspond to that determination.
Exploration Activities: These options offer you a chance to explore more about the touchstone and get a feel for whether the touchstone aligns with your interests, goals, and passions.
Go For It Activities: These options offer you the chance to dive in and immediately get involved with the touchstone opportunities. Select these activities if you are confident that the touchstone meets your interests, goals, and passions.
After you complete the activities (you pick 2 EITHER in one touchstone OR across touchstones), incorporate your artifacts of completion into your USI 101 Portfolio Template as part of your final grade requirements.
