Critical Thinking is January's Graduate Profile Attribute of the Month! In essence, critical thinking empowers us to become more informed, independent, and successful individuals. It's a valuable skill that is essential for thriving in today's ever-changing world. Individuals who think critically demonstrate dimensional thinking, problem solving, innovation, resourcefulness, respect, evidence and reasoning, open-mindedness, and use what they learn to move forward and create new solutions to be a lifelong learner.
