鈥淚t’s really understanding who you are and what you bring to the table in different situations. For some, it’s difficult to talk about themselves. This gives you words and vocabulary to better understand and talk about yourself.鈥�

Through StrongPoints, you鈥檒l begin to develop the skills you need to care for yourself in this essential, but often overlooked, aspect of your life.

鈥淎s a freshman, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to major in. An office on campus that helped me was StrongPoints; my top strengths are empathy and communication. These strengths solidified that I wanted to major in business administration. My strengths help me communicate between groups of people, to make sure that everybody is understanding exactly what they want to be said.鈥� Mary Maul, 鈥�24, Business Administration

鈥淚 had the opportunity to study abroad in Costa Rica for the Language and Culture program, and I was there for a month. You live with a family, and they likely don’t speak any English. Because I have intellection as a top strength and love learning, I thought 鈥榃ell, I’m here for this reason. I want to learn this culture. I want to get to know these people. I’m going to persevere so that I gain that knowledge.鈥� A lot of times, I think we focus on our weaknesses, but here at Meredith, you have these strengths. That鈥檚 what makes Meredith different.鈥� Cait Buckley, 鈥�27, Political Science and Spanish
