Outcome All newly hired SCES student employees will participate in the Student Center’s mandatory learning and development system called The Level Up Program. As part of the program, students are assessed in the area of “Personal Responsibility,” a UCI Student Affairs Learning Domain that aligns with the “Intrapersonal development” and “Interpersonal competence” student outcome domains put forth by the Council for the Advancement of Standards. During the onboarding process, each student is required to take a 40-question personality assessment called the Personality Code (formerly called Color Code), developed by Dr. Taylor Hartman. The assessment categorizes each student into one of four driving core motives. This personality assessment differs from Myers-Briggs and other similar personality assessments. The Myers-Briggs assesses current, learned, and sometimes changing character traits. The Personality Code assessment probes the unchanging, driving motivation of each individual. The assessment aids students in understanding what they do, why they do it, and how to relate to others personally and professionally. All new hires participating in The Level Up Program at level 1 will receive a basic assessment and information. Some students who participate in the program at levels 3 or 4 may receive a full, comprehensive assessment and report that prepares them for leadership roles. Learning in this area is assessed by a post-only assessment of students' self awareness and knowledge. This knowledge is reinforced through workplace discussions about team building and conflict resolution. Mission Statement: Foster the academic, social and cultural mission of the university with student involvement and development opportunities via employment and mentoring outside the classroom in a world-class facility offering year-round conference and event production services.
Benchmark All (100%) of the SCES student workforce participating in The Level Up Program at level 1 will be able to identify their primary driving core motive and relate to all four driving core motives. And approximately 15% of the student workforce who participate in The Level Up Program at levels 3 or 4 will be able to identify their primary and secondary core motives and quickly assess the driving core motives of those they supervise and work with.
