Portfolio Day\u00a0<\/span>is one of the most\u00a0<\/span>anticipated<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>traditions at the Digital Corps<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Each spring, the<\/span>\u00a0event br<\/span>ings<\/span>\u00a0together students, staff, and alumni for a full day of\u00a0<\/span>showcasing\u00a0<\/span>work<\/span>, prof<\/span>essional development,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and celebrating growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>morning opened with portfolio rotations,\u00a0<\/span>where<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>underclassmen<\/span>\u00a0filled the room with resumes, laptops,<\/span>\u00a0and printed\u00a0<\/span>pieces\u00a0<\/span>displaying their<\/span>\u00a0creative work<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>A<\/span>lumni<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and staff made their way around the<\/span>\u00a0room while students practiced talking through their projects in a professional setting.\u00a0<\/span>Students also got to see what their peers across different teams have been\u00a0<\/span>creating,<\/span>\u00a0which gave them a chance to celebrate each other’s hard work<\/span>!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For some students, this was their first time\u00a0<\/span>participating<\/span>\u00a0in Portfolio Day \u2013 a milestone that comes with\u00a0<\/span>feeling pressure\u00a0<\/span>and excitement.<\/span>\u00a0Design Team Apprentice Lori Atkinson<\/span>\u00a0shar<\/span>ed what she gained from her first Portfolio Day.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I had talked to a Design Alumni and a Comm Alumni, and they stopped to view my portfolio, and the design alum had talked to\u00a0<\/span>me\u00a0<\/span>about the concept of focusing on the creative side of my job and my passions and letting that show through the work that I do.\u00a0<\/span>Having a casual\u00a0<\/span>conversation with two people who are in the field that I want to go into meant a lot to me<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0because it felt like there was less pressure for me to present and more of an opportunity for me to showcase who I was as a designer.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
