English Major Exit Portfolio Requirement

Dear English Majors,

As you complete your final semester here at Eastern, we’d like to ask you to take time to critically reflect on your experience as an English major. There are two parts to the exit portfolio. The first is a reflective essay:

In approximately 750 words, tell the story of your journey as an English major: how did you begin, what moments or challenges stand out, and what do you take with you?

The second part of the exit portfolio is a brief survey, and you will be sent an email with the link to the survey along with these guidelines for the reflective essay early in the semester you are graduating. After you complete the survey, please take a screen shot of the final screen and include it with your reflective essay. Included in that email will be a link to a folder where you should upload your reflective essay and screenshot.

Please email the department chair, Dr. Steve Ferruci (ferrucis@easternct.edu) when you’ve submitted your reflective essay with the screen shot of your completed exit survey.  

To meet the requirement in time for May graduation, you must submit both parts of the exit portfolio by May 15^th. For December graduation, you must submit these by December 10^th. For summer graduation, the submission must be by the last day of summer classes.

If you have any questions about this requirement, please contact your faculty advisor or the English department chair.

Sincerely,

Stephen Ferruci, PhD
