Two years is over at the end of 2013, and success is looming. This presentation shares detail and concrete examples of how this was achieved. PPTX Presentation Reaching Out to Our Campus Jul 5, 2013 11:51 AM One of the difficulties of bringing a new technology to campus is making sure our customers are using it well.

Thus, Georgia Southern opted to create a D2L ambassador on campus--modeled after Google's ambassador program--to help raise awareness and provide training.

Doing so, will cause you to be lost in a sea of applicants. Showcase portfolios enable you to provide evidence to back up your skills and show potential employers, advisors, mentors and graduate schools your achievements. This will also help alumni represent themselves as they leave their school and demonstrate their learning accomplishments to stakeholders outside of school. Employers and graduate schools want to find the right candidates and will love to see students clearly articulate and provide evidence of who they are and what they have achieved. It is a win-win scenario for all stakeholders!
