On Thursday, January 13th, Salt Lake Community College held its first annual ePortfolio Showcase, during which five SLCC students received full tuition waivers for spring term. The students are:
• Michael Sharifi
• Veronica Sanchez
• Yu Wiberg
• Michael Miranda
• Joseph McCormick
To win the award, applicants had to meet eligibility requirements (including a GPA of at least 3.0), write an essay, and submit their General Education ePortfolio. During the ePortfolio Showcase and awards ceremony, the winning students showed their ePortfolios to their friends and family, as well as to SLCC faculty and staff. According to Dean David Hubert – who addressed the students before they received their awards from Kati Lewis, SLCC’s ePortfolio Coordinator – SLCC started the ePortfolio Showcase and award ceremony “because we wanted to honor and support deserving students whose quality work and educational ‘drive’ is evident in some form that’s more tangible than just their GPA or their transcript.”
