E-portfolios and co-curricular records are different, but make a great team. CatsConnect helps you identify and collect information about your out of classroom experiences at MSU – these are often the most memorable and skill-building opportunities in your college experience. You may select which experiences you would like to show on an MSU official, personalized Co-Curricular Record (it looks like a resume, listing your memberships and accomplishments. You can print it from CatConnect). An E-Portfolio includes examples documenting the best of your work (both in and out of class), usually through photos or examples, professional skills identification, and reflections.
