Ten Ideals
Need Your Help
The Ten Ideals are one of Stephens' greatest strengths,
and have become character traits that the College seeks
to instill in all of its students. They are in place to
inspire great thoughts and great actions amongst the women
of this institution. The Ten Ideals of the 2009-2010
school year have been watching over the community this year
in search for two special individuals to further represent
what it means to be a "Stephens Woman."
The "Best Private Citizen," though
she does not hold an office pertaining to campus government,
shows a consistent constructive influence in abiding by
and respecting campus laws in her power of leadership. With
unquestioned personal citizenship, she is an outstanding
force for good, maintaining the Ideals of the school at
all times in both attitude and action. She possesses. to
some degree, each of the character attributes of the Ten
Ideals.
The "Four-Fold Girl": mental
strength, physical health, social poise, spiritual vision--these
are the characteristics of the Stephens Four-Fold Girl,
characteristics which are evident in all that she does and
says. Others turn to her naturally for guidance and counsel
and find her always sympathetic and understanding. She has
a wide range of interests and participates in many activities,
but in her investment of time and effort she shows an intelligent
balance of emphasis.
The Ten would like to know if you are one of these
girls? Do you meet the needs of yourself and those around
you? Show us how you represent Stephens! Please send your
nominations to the Ten Ideals at TenIdeals@stephens.edu.
Don't forget: We are Watching You!

Student Notices
What is CLA?
The CLA
(Collegiate Learning Assessment) is a test of critical-thinking
skills that Stephens gives every year to a sample of incoming
freshmen and graduating seniors. It's a national standardized
test, but not the usual "fill-in-the-bubble" stuff—it
actually asks you to think (!). It's also a key part of
our campus-wide assessment effort.
Seniors: if you have been selected for the sample
group, you will soon receive an e-mail from Dr. Terry with
an appointment date/time for your CLA session. Watch for
it. Everyone who participates will have a chance to win
fabulous incentive gifts such as gift certificates to the
Bookshelf, a $100 Columbia Mall gift card, tickets to the
Spring Fashion Show, tickets to HMS Pinafore, and a free
night's stay at the Guest Suites at Stephens. Contact Jim
Terry with any questions.
