The four pillars of the 1903 Academy
Think
Students work with their leaders to schedule relevant, thought-provoking courses that complement their career pathways. Participants must excel in a requisite number of core and elective courses.
Reflect
Over their three years in the academy, students create portfolios in which they consider their experiences in and outside the classroom, ask formative questions, and identify the ways they can use their gifts to improve the world.
Engage
Students apply their academy disciplines by leading extracurricular activities in real-world settings like exchange programs, alumni networking events, and other interactions with professionals, lecturers, and academics.
Experience
Participants work with their leaders to identify and support hands-on service projects where they can apply their strengths — bolstering their experience in their academy field domestically or even internationally.
