While equipment resources, major-centric curriculum, and portfolios are vital to a student's prospects in the industry, much of what employers are looking for in new hires have to do with "soft skills" including teamwork, problem-solving, adaptability, and dependability. In order to best prepare students for the workforce, higher education institutions must grapple with ways to address these demands. This panel explores tangible ways in which to challenge students in these areas both in and outside the classroom through curriculum and program adjustments, initiatives, and various other strategies. Moderator: Jonathan Vinson, Huntington University Panelists: David Whitaker, Asbury University; Adam Widener, Huntington University
