How Cornerstones build the foundation

First Year Trip - new context for service & learning (i.e., poverty in campus and distant place)

Orientation - pre-college immersion provides a sense of community and a foundation for success

Second Year Exchange - the sense of a national movement and connections across campuses

Third Year Leadership - an opportunity to apply initiative on a project (i.e., international trip, campus-wide event, community event)

Capstones and Senior Presentations- an opportunity to integrative thinking and doing - at a site and often connected to student’s coursework
