2021 Research Grant Executive Summary

Using phenomenological inquiry, this study sought to explore the lived experiences of a group of young professionals who held cocurricular leadership positions as undergraduates. Specifically, its aim was to better understand how seven of these young professionals described the experience of developing their soft skills and then transitioning those skills into their careers. This executive summary offers an overview of the project and its findings in the hopes that it aids cocurricular educators in their work.
