Co-curricular programs such as RSOs reinforce a student’s “why”—intentions of purpose— by equipping them with skills for personal and professional development (Rosch and Collins, 2017). This creates motivation to meet and exceed their goals of academic completion and job attainment. 除了, participation in RSOs cultivate social and civic development, 领导认同形成, 软技能(i).e. collaboration and communication) reinforcement, community networking and career support (Rosch and Collins, 2017).
