Tabor College President's Journal

College students are basically asking two questions… Who am I?  and What am I to do?  The Tabor experience is designed to help students answer these questions.  One of the ways is by having each student take the Clifton Strengthsfinder assessment administered by Gallup.  The assessment reveals to each student their top five strengths.  This information is then used to assist the student in a variety of ways from career selection to applying their strengths to the career of their choice and to helping them be better students.  It is a wonderful experience.  I have taken the assessment and it helps me be a better president.  If you want to discover your strengths, go to strengthsfinder.com and purchase a code and take the assessment.  The top five aggregate strengths of Tabor students are Adaptability, Restorative, Competition, Developer, Achiever.  In case you are wondering what mine are… Futuristic, Positivity, Belief, Woo, and Activator.  I am delighted that Tabor is a strengths-based campus and that we have already received the Strengthsfinder Leader Award given to us by the Gallup organization for the work we do with the assessment instrument helping students discover who they are and what they are to do.  Just another of the wonderful things about Tabor.
