Do you have an E-Portfolio?

Very simply put, a portfolio is a collection of evidence that is gathered together to show a person’s learning journey over time and to demonstrate their abilities. Portfolios can be specific to a particular discipline, or very broadly encompass a person’s lifelong learning.

An e-portfolio can be an interactive, modern way to show off your work experience to potential employers. Don't worry if you are not entirely web design savvy. You can still create a portfolio that is simple but speaks volumes about your talent and accomplishments in your career field.

If you want to establish your brand on the Internet; showcase yourself, your talents or your academic work, e-portfolio is the digital age information system to use.

Have you considered starting an E-portfolio?  Take a look at this video for some inspiration.

Also, here are a couple of links to E-portfolios for you to do some further research.

SSS students attend Leadership Conference

SSS participant Brandon Anderson writes "The SELU Leadership Conference on March 6, 2010 was the absolute best experience I have had since attending Lamar University. With this conference I had the opportunity of meeting lots of new people whom I thought I would never associate with also I became closer with people I knew already. This conference taught me how to be a leader, what i need to do as a leader, what kind of leader I am, and how I can affect people as a leader. This trip was the absolute best and I cannot wait to see what next year's conference will bring!"
