Haley Anderson
I am an individual aspiring to make a difference in the world.
Discover my Leadership Philosophy, Attitudes & Values, and My Leadership in Action
When I transferred to the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT) in September 2015 I was determined to be involved in various communities through means of school organizations, committees, and interacting with Tacoma citizens. When I graduate I want to have valuable experiences (outside of my degree), which help me grow as individual, while helping others at the same time.
At the start of my time at UWT, I underwent a process of self discovery through the Community Engagement Leadership (CEL) program at the UWT to help develop my leadership abilities. I will be graduating in June 2017 with my Bachelors degree in Psychology and minors in Global Engagement and Environmental Studies. My collective experiences in the CEL program and Global Honors program at UWT encouraged me to form a passion around refugees in my community of Tacoma Washington.
As a volunteer mentor for Lutheran Community Services Northwest, a refugee resettlement agency in Tacoma Washington, my goal was to assist people in my community through my leadership actions. I feel as a United States citizen I have an obligation to helping those around me, which is why I prefer to call my time serving others a civic responsibility. I believe in using a more impactful word to promote community capacity development, activities that identify and increase the human and/or economic assets of a neighborhood or community (adapted 2012 by Volunteer Services, University of Washington Tacoma).
The essential qualities of civic responsibility I value to create positive change are as followed:
Listen and Accept
Be Aware and Address Situations
Engage to Promote Positive Well-Being
