Dear Transdisciplinary Service Learning Program Stakeholder,

There have been several developments since our last update! For one, the Transdisciplinary Social Impact Team (TSIT) celebrated reaching their first, self-defined measurable outcome this past Friday, March 27th, 2009 with a delicious Jamaican-style meal at Lorenz Island Kuisine. Their goal – “To identify three priority actions for at least two cases and complete the first priority action for each case by March 27th, 2009.” – was developed seven weeks ago at the program orientation and had to meet the SMART criteria:

• Specific:  Do you know exactly what you want to accomplish with all the details?
• Measurable:  Are you able to assess your progress?
• Attainable:  Is your goal within your reach given your current situation?
• Relevant:  Is your goal relevant towards your purpose in life?
• Time-Sensitive:  What is the deadline for completing your goal?
