5 Daily Ways You Can Embody Herzing’s P.R.I.C.E. Model

At Herzing University, you have likely heard about, and been encouraged to follow, the P.R.I.C.E. Model. Representing some of Herzing’s core values, P.R.I.C.E. stands for Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Caring, and Engagement. It is a foundational philosophy enabling students to become the best version of themselves – both personally and professionally. Every year, the University awards the Herzing Cup to students who exemplify the P.R.I.C.E. model and act as role models for their classmates and incoming students. By following these core values, student success shines in the classroom, the community and as they enter the workforce — allowing the lessons learned at Herzing to transfer to future colleagues, employers, and the patients they care for.

Let’s dive into five ways that you can embody the P.R.I.C.E. Model in your everyday life:

1. Help Classmates 

Earning your degree is a marathon and everybody runs it at their own pace. If you find yourself nailing the concepts for a chapter or lesson, but your peers are struggling, offer your time to sit down and share the information in a way that might help it stick. This gesture represents the type of team-first mentality you’ll need to have in the workplace and, who knows, they may pay it forward to someone else or pay it back to you in the future.

While there are many ways to embody what it means to be a student following the P.R.I.C.E. Model, there are things you can do each day to bring your best self into everything you do. From the classroom to the community, to your work life, and at home, these foundational values can be incredibly important to your growth and have the bonus of allowing others to see you as someone they can turn to and rely on. At Herzing, we encourage you to be professional, show respect, honor with integrity, be caring, and thoughtfully engage with others. It’s a small “P.R.I.C.E.” that pays off in a big way.
