• Original option (see below) – “describe an experience you had at Augustana – a class, an extracurricular activity, a person, etc. – that had an impact on the career path you have chose and/or impacted you on how you will conduct yourself in the workplace.”
Or
• Alternative option –Based on what you have learned as a college student in your four years at Augustana, describe what you would you tell yourself as an incoming first year student here. How can you use this knowledge to inform your career path?

For your senior inquiry reflection essay, I want you to discuss your career path and describe an experience you had at Augustana – a class, an extracurricular activity, a person, etc. – that had an impact on the career path you have chosen and/or it impacted you on how you will conduct yourself in the workplace.* Also, please select three BUSN 475 course readings, one can be a video, and for each reading discuss how you think it will help you in your career.
Your paper should open with an introduction of what it is about. This should be followed by at least a page description of what you think, at this point, your career path will be and the Augustana influence on it. Then discuss the three readings (at least a half page each) you identified and how you think they will help you in your career (and perhaps in your personal life). The essay should be equivalent to at least three and half double-spaced pages. What I mean by equivalent – if on your first page your essay begins about half way down the page, that page is equivalent to half a page, not a whole page.

*For this part of the assignment, see above for the alternative discussion you can choose.
