Enhance your Career Portfolio
It is time to update your Learning Beyond the Classroom portfolio. For instance, did you participate in a first year seminar?  …a learning community?  Were you a T.A.?  Did you perform community service?  You have done lots of experiential learning, so take some time and submit reports on activities already completed. 

May 2022 graduates: remember that you must have completed the program by the end of January 2022 in order to earn the LBC certificate.

If you have submitted a report, check and see if you have been asked to supply more information.  If you find that you have received “0” points on a report, see the comments section for an explanation.  If requested, resubmit your report with the required information so that your LBC points can be updated.
 
Do you need financial support to pursue an experiential learning activity?  Are you going to a conference?  Studying abroad?  Doing community service?  Apply for an LBC grant.  For details on the application process: Click Here

If you have questions, contact LBC at   lbc@purdue.edu
