Cane Commitment was developed to enhance undergraduate students' lifelong competitive edge in the workforce. University of Miami's competencies are aligned with the AAC&U Value Rubrics (American Association of Colleges and Universities) and the NACE Career Readiness Competencies (National Association of Colleges and Employers). Learn more about both organizations: AAC&U, NACE.

Students have a unique opportunity to explore a variety of experiences on a single platform. They can choose those that are intellectually stimulating, identify the relevant competencies and behavioral attributes, participate in the activities, and reflect on their experiences. This reflection process helps students articulate what they have learned and the competencies they have developed.

To earn badges, you will need to complete specific activities listed within the Activities menu in Suitable. Login with your UM email address on app.suitable.co/login

Suitable provides an online platform for students to track their curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular experiences aligned with the core competencies. It utilzes a point system, within which students attain levels of competency. The points and levels correspond to digital badges for each of the six competencies.

In order to earn a graduation medal, students must complete all three levels in the same core competency. For example, Sebastian the Ibis completed bronze, silver, and gold levels of the Professionalism badge to earn his graduation medal.

The last day to claim a medal for the Spring 2025 commencement ceremony is May 1st. Those who have qualified for a medal will be contacted by a Cane Commitment representative to arrange a pick-up time.

Please note only one graduation medal will be awarded per student regardless of how many competencies were completed in all three levels.
