Preparing a Portfolio

Students should have up-to-date portfolios. Portfolios are needed to apply for graduate school, for jobs, and for departmental travel awards and prizes. It is in the student's best interest to update his/her portfolio each term.

When preparing a portfolio show your ability to package and present information attractively and concisely: Form is as important as content. Be sure to include only your best work, and organize material logically.

Consider your audience. Are you applying for graduate school? Positions are often won or lost on first impressions. Rearranging your portfolio for an interview sends a clear signal that you are serious about the opportunity.
