I heard an interesting story yesterday about one of our graduates from last year. A large corporation was looking for a highly defined and very unique leadership position. Out of 300 names our graduate was one of the final 5 in the screening process. The position had nothing to do with this individual's major, but when they saw the resume, he had the diversity of a liberal arts background, he was an athlete, he participated in student activities and he had developed the ability to work with people on a number of different fronts. They were looking for interpersonal skills.
Interpersonal skills are crucial.
At TMC, you may find yourself on an athletic team, in a musical group, involved in a missions team, spending the summer with folks learning how to lead, learning how to develop solutions to problems. It tells you about learning to work with a team, learning to go through difficulty, and pulling together. All those interpersonal relationship skills are crucial. There's a dynamic that holds us all accountable. You learn how to work with people.
