INTERNSHIP PORTFOLIO

Purpose: To establish the core criteria to be completed by all students registered for internship credit to emphasize
student learning during academic internships. The portfolio is a collection of the intern’s reflections and work examples
that documents the learner’s efforts, progress, and achievements in relation to the intern’s learning goals and academic
connections. The student and faculty supervisor should discuss specific portfolio expectations.
