Interacting

Interacting: Am I maximizing opportunities to my advantage?


Interacting means you are engaging in both in-class and out of class experiential opportunities. Armed with your intentional and well-infomed plan, you are seeking to apply and strengthen your competencies.

How can I interact?

  • Get involved in clubs, mentored research, volunteer activities, part-time work, internships, or study abroad. 
  • Let your professors know you are trying to work on a particular competency in their class and ask for help and mentoring
  • Take classes outside of your required coursework that help enrich your competency development
  • Double-major or minor in something that gives you a new and different way of strengthening your competencies and skills. 
  • Job shadow or hold informational interviews
  • Explore the learning outcomes of your courses in your major and minor programs to identify the outcomes that relate closely to Core Career Competencies. 
  • Explore the BYU syllabi directory to identify the course outcomes that relate closely to Core Career Competencies. 
  • Meet with your Academic and Professional Development Manager to receive advice and support in your pursuit of experiential learning opportunities.
