The Quest for Character
Being a student — and a person — of character is something emphasized during your student's time at college. Six of the main pillars of character often focused on include:

1. Trustworthiness
2. Respect
3. Responsibility
4. Fairness
5. Caring
6. Citizenship

By discussing these with your student now and during the school year, you can keep the quest for character-building present. Then it'll be up to your student to determine what being a person of character means to him.
