THE PORTFOLIO IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. THIS ARCHIVE IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY
THE KALAMAZOO COLLEGE PORTFOLIO
Kalamazoo’s Portfolio helps students
understand and articulate their educational experiences, see
the connections between the parts of a “K” education, collect
their significant academic and experiential work in one place,
develop long-term goals and plans that give coherence and
direction to their education, and learn Web design.
Innovative, Web-based,
and nationally recognized, the “K” Portfolio starts before
orientation with a “Foundations Essay” and culminates with
a final “Senior Connections” response to four years at “K”
College. Along the way, in eight required gateway points,
students create their own home pages, link their best work,
summarize their academic goals and plans of study, write about
the choice of a major, capture their intercultural experience
on paper, reflect on their career readiness, and discuss their
plans for their Senior Individualized Projects. Many
departments link significant course work to the Portfolios
of their majors.
The Portfolio was funded
by a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary
Education (FIPSE).
Click around a
little bit and learn what the Portfolio is, how to construct
the Portfolio, what your Portfolio needs, and a couple of
outstanding Portfolios to peek at. Enjoy!
