ePortfolio Workshop Part 1: Audience Analysis

Monday, February 17, 2020
5–6 p.m.
151 Coates Hall

This workshop serves as part one of a three-part trajectory. DC Candidates must attend a minimum of one ePortfolio workshop, but are welcome to attend as many as they like. Be sure to pay attention to the descriptions of each part so that you can choose the workshop that best fits your current progress and needs.

You know that as a Distinguished Communicator Candidate you need to make a portfolio - but do you know how to get started? In this session we’ll explore what makes your portfolio unique to you and how, when well-executed, it can serve a practical purpose on your path to success beyond your undergraduate degree. We’ll move through the process of identifying the audience for your portfolio, your goals for your post-baccalaureate life, and set you on the path to success as you refine your ability to discuss and translate how your commitments and accomplishments today are valuable in your future arenas.

For this workshop we ask that you come prepared with substantive responses to the following questions: where do you want to be after you graduate from LSU? What are your short- and long-term (as you have identified them, to date) professional goals? Who is your primary audience for this portfolio? If you’re struggling to answer these, never fear - we will cover this at the ePortfolio Part One Workshop.
