Leadership Portfolio vs.
Personal Website
You can use many of the reflections that you have
posted on your Personal Website to create a
final, polished version of your leadership
philosophies for your Leadership Portfolio.
Your Personal Website is for you and is more
informal.
Your Leadership Portfolio will be a formal
professional e-portfolio that you can use in
academic and career settings.
