Final Exam Week - Tuesday, May 29

Welcome to Final Exam Week! Your final exam activities module is open and is due Friday, June 1. Final Exam Activities Module Assignments are weighted equally and include the following:

• Leadership CV/Cover Letter - you will use what you have learned as well as the work you have completed in the course to create YOUR own leadership CV (curriculum vitae). Your leadership CV (a detailed resume) will include your current leadership goals, skills, positions, mission, etc. and will also include at least 3 work samples from your Leadership Development coursework. There are detailed directions as well as a detailed rubric in the assignment to help you:)   Use the template to PLAN your CV and then create your CV using an application of your choice (Word, Google, Canva, etc.).  Once your CV is complete, write a cover letter that meets the assignment requirements.  **You have written a resume as well as a cover letter in our course before...now you are creating for YOU!
• Empowering Others Discussion Board - you will share your philosophy, your progress, and your fears with your classmates one last time and send them off feeling empowered. Be sure to use your leadership skills to create an awesome post and to craft quality replies to at least 3 of your classmates. There are detailed directions as well as a detailed rubric in the assignment to help you:)   
• Final Exam Multiple Choice Assessment - You will showcase your content knowledge by taking a traditional final exam. It has 50 questions (a mixture of true/false and multiple choice). You will have ONE attempt at this exam.

* Remember that NCVPS weights your final exam activities as 20% of your final grade.  Your school has the final say in the percentages they use on your report card.

Today's Assignment:

• Part I:  Leadership CV and Cover Letter

Leadership CV and Cover Letter
Remember that you are creating LEADERSHIP CV.  The self-assessment will guide you through the pre-planning of that CV.  Just as you did during the semester, relate everything you put on your CV back to your leadership development.  For more tips on how to create a CV, go to http://cals.ufl.edu/docs/pdf/students/CRC-CV-Preparation-2016.pdf.
Once you have reviewed your CV, write your cover letter.  Your cover letter is your chance to "sell" you and your leadership development.  It is what employers will read first and will determine if they should take the time to read your CV.  Be sure your cover letter addresses your top leadership skills/traits and that it "sells" you as a 21st-century leader.  You can make up the addressee or you can address your letter to me.
