Once a declaration proposal is approved, the student will begin their ePortfolio. The ePortfolio is a means of recording the intellectual, personal, social and civic development that occurs throughout a student's participation in the certificate program. The primary goal of the ePortfolio is to serve as a mechanism for deepening the learning process by encouraging the student to document and represent the coherence, intentionality and integration of their experiences within the Civic Engagement and Social Change Certificate Program.
For the ePortfolio, students will be required to provide an intellectual rationale for the curricular choices they make and to select and feature representations of their work that best capture their individual development. Students will have multiple opportunities throughout the certificate program to refine their ePortfolio, to critically reflect on its contents as well as its form and to determine how best to make the ePortfolio public-facing.
