ePortfolios + SLCC = $$$$

You’ve heard about ePortfolios at SLCC, correct?

If not, here’s a quick blurb about ePortfolios (click this link for even more information):

• ePortfolio helps students step ahead by providing a place to archive, reflect upon, and share their best work with faculty, scholarship committees or anyone else.
• ePortfolios can be used to showcase the entirety of an academic career.
• In addition to building a General Education ePortfolio, students may choose to create a second, career-specific ePortfolio to help impress potential employers.
• Creating an ePortfolio is free.

Welcome to Fall 2014!

Hello and a Happy Fall Semester to you! 

What’s new in the Diversity and Multicultural Affairs Office? A lot! 

We have a “Special Assignment Director” who will be sharing a welcome letter soon.

We want to have the blog up and running so that students have access to the most current information as well as commentary related to multicultural and diversity issues on campus.

We will be discussing current matters on campus and sharing insights from students on each of our campuses about multiculturalism and diversity such as events, discussions, forums, activities, and social gatherings.

In short, stay tuned! This will be an exciting semester.
