"What, So What?, Now What?"

Reflection invites you to:

• Think critically about your community service experience
• Understand the complexity of the experience and put it in a larger context
• Challenge their own attitudes, beliefs, assumptions, privileges, prejudices and stereotypes
• Ask “Why?”

Reflection lets us learn from our experiences in a way that is much more deep and meaningful.

What? 

• What did you observe during the community service event?

So What?

• Did you learn a new skill or clarify an interest?
• How was your experience different from what you expected?
• What did you like/dislike about the experience?
• What did you learn from your group members?

Now What?

• How can you apply what you observed in your research lab?
• If you could do the group activities again, what would you do differently?
