However, I continue to advocate that the ePortfolio Program again have a Graduate Assistant, in order to help oversee the ePortfolio Assistants, support the many grants and initiatives to which our program is attached, and maintain the tutorial program. Additionally, we are fortunately seeing a rise in graduate students creating ePortfolios. These students often want to work with a graduate peer who understands their experiences. Furthermore, this position can strategically seek out graduate student organizations and events to raise further awareness of the value of ePortfolios for graduate students attending conferences and looking to the job market. This new position may be funded in coordination with the Graduate College.
