We start March by taking a closer look at the value of Intellectual Curiosity, the second core value of the nine core CSUMB values. 

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” - Albert Einstein.

Intellectual curiosity, or curiosity quotient, is an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Increasing your curiosity quotient, as described in the HBR article ‘Curiosity Is as Important as Intelligence,’ will benefit you by increasing your ability to navigate periods of ambiguity and supports an increase in knowledge gain. 

This month we will explore the elements of intellectual curiosity and provide you with tools and resources to cultivate your curiosity.
