Strengths Finding at Greenville College is not only considered an academic or career resource. Student Development and Residence Life have integrated the Strengths concept into all facets of Student Life.

Residence Life plays an integral part in subtle promotion and awareness of the Strengths Finder program through door boards, hall decorations and signs, promotion in hall newsletters, and informal conversations and counseling with residents.

Probably the most important use of the Strengths Finder is in informal counseling and conversations with students within the residence halls. Coordinators of Residence Education as well as Resident Chaplains have been trained to use the Strengths Finder in informal emotional, educational, career, and spiritual counseling. Between the 7 Residence Life Staff members multiple Strengths based conversations occur every day.

The Strengths Finder approach is also used for team development both for Student Development professions and Resident Chaplains.

In addition, special Strengths Finder programs are held within the Residence Halls that include inviting faculty to share about the Strengths during floor activities and floor bible studies. Plans are also being made to integrate the Strengths Finder into an outdoor team's course event for 2002-2003.
