Course Description

The goal of the College of Communication and Information is to equip students with the knowledge required to work productively with people, to communicate effectively, to manage information purposefully and to apply technology innovatively for the benefit of individuals and organizations. This course is designed to assist graduating seniors to articulate what they have learned from their training in each of these four areas through the preparation of an Interactive Resume and Career Portfolio. Class discussions and assignments will help students prepare for their chosen career path by providing perspectives on the issues that they will face upon entering their career as information professionals.
