Strengths-Based Education
At Elizabethtown College, we believe that every single person has unique natural talents. Our goal is to help each person discover their strengths and unlock their potential.
We begin by utilizing the CliftonStrengths assessment, backed by over 50 years of research and developed by Gallup. Students have the opportunity to complete this online assessment which provides their top 5 talent themes.
All incoming first-year students will be given the opportunity to complete this inventory, and they will engage in activities and discussions about their strengths during their first semester on campus. There are additional opportunities for all students to engage in strengths development through classes, extra-curricular activities, and more.
Strengths psychology is rooted in positive psychology and is based on this question:
"What would happen if we study what is right with people?"
