Welcome back, Distinguished Communicators! As we prepare for the year ahead, let's take some time to refine how we articulate who we are and what we do. For this huddle, please bring in your resume, your elevator pitch notes, or notes about a specific networking event/interview you plan to attend soon. We'll review some basic principles about substantive and clear communication, and then break into groups to see how we can apply these principles to our professional communication.

DC Huddle: ePortfolios

Open to Distinguished Communicator Candidates

Your ePortfolio is a website that effectively communicates your work and skills as they relate to your post-graduation goals. It’s an ideal tool to use as you are seeking internships, scholarships, jobs, and/or admission to grad school. A strong ePortfolio immediately sets you apart from other students, which is one reason it is part of your Distinguished Communicator certification. Whether your ePortfolio currently consists of a blank page or you are close to a final draft, this workshop is for you! We’ll review the basics of good portfolios and work with you to do some hands-on building/editing, so join us!

**This opportunity is only open to current DC candidates and counts as 1 workshop credit. Registration is required.
