The Advising Resource Center (ARC) e-portfolio is an interactive Web resource geared toward helping OU students discover and navigate the world of college majors and career avenues.
“ARC e-Portfolio was created for first-year, undecided students to connect with one another and ARC advisers,” said Shaunda Mankowski, career and academic adviser. “We want them to know that they are part of a community of students who are all exploring options and deciding on a major.”
Accessible 24/7, the Web site offers a repository of student-centered tools, including general education worksheets to help students track their academic progress, information on campus support offices, a calendar of important dates throughout the fall semester and a complete listing of ARC workshops.
The Web site also includes links to career resources, video tutorials on how to prepare for an advising appointment and various tips for a successful college career.
E-portfolio users can create profiles introducing themselves to other participants, as well as interact with ARC advisers and student mentors who can answer questions and discuss a wide array of college-related issues.
“We invite students to share their ideas and questions, and want to encourage them to access the helpful resources that are available,” Mankowski said.
