As the culminating experience in the MSU Graduate Certification in Community Engagement, the written portfolio and presentation are equivalent to the final exam for the program. Together, they are your opportunity to synthesize and document what you have learned from the readings, seminar/workshops, mentored community engagement experience, and through reflection on your experiences with your community partners and mentor.
Both the written portfolio and presentation must be completed no more than three semesters after the student has graduated or separated from the university. Starting Fall 2024, both the written portfolio and presentation must be completed no more than three semesters after the student has graduated or separated from the university.
