LaGuardia Community CollegeコミュのePortfolio Scholarship invitation

Dear students,

Congratulations and welcome to the ePortfolio Scholar Project!

In recognition of the wonderful work collected in your ePortfolio, your
faculty member has recommended YOU for LaGuardia's prestigious
ePortfolio Scholar Project. Together with your faculty member, the
ePortfolio team at the Center for Teaching and Learning is delighted to
offer you an exciting opportunity to join this select group of
students.

Beginning April 17th 2007, the ePortfolio team will hold welcome
meetings for you to participate in the ePortfolio Scholar Project.
During the course of the project and under the guidance of faculty and
ePortfolio support staff, you will work together to deepen your
ePortfolio experience.

What does this mean for you? Over the next 6 weeks, you and other
participants can develop your ePortfolio, transforming it into an
outstanding example of what LaGuardia students can do. You will have
the chance to attend workshops and learn new technical skills that can
enhance your portfolio. Just as important, these workshops will help
you strengthen the content of your ePortfolio - helping you improve your
writing and thinking, teaching you how to evaluate, revise, and complete
an outstanding ePortfolio.

At the end of the Spring 2007 semester, you will receive recognition as
an ePortfolio Scholar and a certificate of participation. Additionally,
many scholars will be eligible for scholarships. Awards include:

* $100 to $200 Scholarships and a USB Pen/Flash Drive awarded to
all Scholars who complete their ePortfolios with an evaluation of
satisfactory and attend four workshops;

* $200 to $400 Scholarships and a USB Pen/Flash Drive awarded to
Scholars who achieve evaluations higher than satisfactory and attend all
workshops and;

* $500 Scholarship and a USB Pen/Flash Drive awarded to
‘Shining’ ePortfolio Scholars whose portfolios are evaluated as
excellent.


Best of all, because each ePortfolio Scholar will have the same
opportunity and support to create a Superstar ePortfolio, everyone will
be eligible for the $500 stipend!

In addition, every Scholar can look forward to the following
opportunities:

* Mentoring in a variety of academic skills, including writing and
critical thinking, by LaGuardia ePortfolio faculty.

* Instruction in the use and application of a variety of digital
technologies.

* ePortfolio Scholars’ interviews posted on the LaGuardia
ePortfolio website

* The many benefits that come from having an ePortfolio including
something amazing to show prospective employer, faculty, family and
friends.

This will be a great opportunity for you, and we look forward to
working with you over the next 6 weeks!
