Working on the portfolio

The Washington Center requires students to assemble a portfolio that shows the work they have accomplished during their time in Washington, DC. The portfolio is a combination of the programming assignments, your own assessments about the internship and the classes you took, as well as the civic engagement activities you participated in throughout the past months.

Two portfolios will be turned in to The Washington Center; they both have to be spiral bound copies. One will be sent to your school and the other will remain in The Washington Center’s archives. If you like, you can make a copy for your personal use.

During the semester, I saved all my documents. In the past week, I have been working on my portfolio. Looking over it gives me an interesting perspective on the different personal, professional academic and civic engagement goals I set out to achieve at the beginning of the semester.

I found it important to review all the goals I had set out to do, whether they were accomplished or not, because this has been an opportunity to learn not only from what you have done right but also from some of your mistakes. I’ll keep you posted on my portfolio and take a few pictures for you guys to get an idea of how it would look like.
