Portfolios
The portfolio is one of the core requirements of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Certificate alongside your courses and experiences. It is an externally-facing digital collection of work and reflections that together showcase your learning experiences and accomplishments. All portfolios will be featured on the I&E website at the end of your senior year, and those who complete this requirement with excellence will be recognized at I&E Certificate graduation; we will also share those portfolios in I&E communications for alumni, faculty, staff and students to view.
Within the first two weeks of the Capstone course, you will create the portfolio as an assignment using the platform of your choosing (such as Canva, Figma, PowerPoint, WordPress, etc). You will submit it as an assignment and use it in-class to guide a discussion of your entrepreneurial experiences. Toward the end of the semester, you will add a final reflection to the portfolio, considering your future and how you will carry forward what you have learned during your time at Duke.
Here are two templates you can use on Canva and Duke WordPress.
The I&E Certificate Portfolio will be completed as part of the Capstone course beginning Spring 2023 and going forward.
