Prepare your Portfolio!

Career XPO 2027 is Thursday, February 18, and 60+ firms will be on campus looking at student work. To help you get your portfolio ready, we’re launching a four-part Portfolio Series this year: one workshop, two review sessions, and a juried Portfolio Day the week before the XPO.
Part 1 is this Friday.
PART 1 — PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP
Friday, October 30, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM Temple Buell Hall, Plym Auditorium (Room 134)
No registration required.
  • Professors John Clark and Hugh Swiatek will walk through how to draft a portfolio: what to include, how to sequence it, and what firms actually look for. They’ll share examples, offer insight, and take your questions.
  • Want feedback on your own work? Submit your portfolio by October 29th  to https://uofi.app.box.com/f/87541786ed754f438c92c22b3b1986e5 and it may be reviewed live at the end of the workshop.
    • Even a rough draft is worth submitting. That’s the point of the session.
