The Honors Portfolio
Your Honors Portfolio is a space for you to collect, reflect, and make meaning of your experiences in the Honors College. Think of it as a personal record of your academic, cultural, and civic journey through college—something that will grow with you over time and help you connect your coursework and experiences outside of the classroom in a meaningful way. You will add material to your portfolio every semester in Honors.
What goes into my Portfolio?
You should always feel free to add more than the minimum number of artifacts required each semester. You will have the opportunity to curate your Portfolio in HON 402.
Portfolio Checklist
A central document where you’ll provide links to all your Portfolio items. You should keep the checklist updated as you add items and check the Portfolio to make sure it is complete at the end of each semester.
