Showcase Guide
The learning portfolio showcase is a requirement for all honors experiences (honors seminars, pre-approved, and self-designed).
Purpose: To concisely share your honors experience with your learning portfolio. Note: This should not be the same as your self-designed experience reflection.
Audience: Anyone you share your learning portfolio link with or anyone who finds your learning portfolio through a public search (e.g. potential employers, graduate schools, faculty, staff, and family members).
Guidelines: Showcasing the experience in your learning portfolio consists of two elements:
- A concise summary of the experience (~200 words) including what the experience involved and how it impacted you and your definition of Global Citizen Scholar.
- A visual representation of your learning (e.g. paper, photograph, blog entries) and a brief explaination of why you chose this representation.
Timeline: Post your experience showcase to your learning portfolio within one month of the conclusion of the experience.
Showcasing Experiences and Activities Beyond University Honors
We also encourage you to showcase other significant experiences that you have, whether those happen within University Honors, at UC, or more broadly as part of your growth and development as a person. Remember, your portfolio is available to anyone who wants to learn more about you, including professors, letter of recommendation writers, graduate school admission officers, potential employers, etc., therefore, it is important that your showcase provides context for what you did and what you learned in a succinct manner.
