Dominican University, SOIS

Hello! Welcome to my e-Portfolio for Dominican University's School of Information Studies. This site documents what I have learned in the Master of Library and Information Science program and provides evidence of my competencies according to the program's five learning goals and respective outcomes.

​

The navigation menu is located at the top of each page. Each SOIS goal has its own page; the goal and designated outcomes are defined, and artifacts from my coursework and professional activities are provided to demonstrate my competency for each outcome. A reflective essay will describe my learning journey at Dominican and some of my most impactful educational experiences. Finally, my resume will highlight my career experience and professional skills.

​

Earning this degree represents more to me than an academic achievement or the beginning of a second career—it has been a life-changing adventure, and I am grateful to the professors and fellow students I have worked with on the way. I am very excited to share my work with you, and I am eager to further my growth in this vocation.
