Description:

DR. LAWRENCE D. HULTGREN, Director PORTfolio is a selective four-year program that allows students to integrate their college education with offcampus experiential opportunities. The purpose of PORTfolio is to provide a curriculum through which students can build the foundation for the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are necessary for life-long personal satisfaction, professional success and civic responsibility. By dissolving the wall separating academics from the world outside, it connects liberal learning with the surrounding community. Each student in the program maintains and continually updates an electronic portfolio that documents her/his four years at VWC. Students apply and are accepted as new in-coming freshmen. The program includes at least one specially designed seminar a year, an internship and Winter Session courses for externships and service learning. Completion of the program satisfies VWC's computer literacy and oral communications requirement as well as other General Studies requirements. The program is taken in addition to one's major.
