     Kennesaw State University provides student resources to enhance college success and enrich the college learning experience. College seniors can take advantage of many resources that are available to assist their career research, career interviewing, graduate school preparation, becoming an entrepreneur, technology training, e-portfolio design, participating in volunteer work, understanding the history of commencement, and becoming active as a KSU alumnus.

 

       The KSU resources that have special interest to college seniors are highlighted in gray. However, all the resources listed provide learning enrichment for college seniors.

 

       Listed below is a KSU Resource Learning Portfolio, designed to provide students with a concise list of available resources, how to find these resources, and how to track what they learned by using the resources.  College seniors can use some of these resources as marketing tools, such as participating in technology training, volunteer activities, leadership in clubs and organizations, and creating an e-portfolio to showcase their talents and experience, plus, highlighting their technology savvy. 

 

 

Directions for using the KSU Resource Learning Portfolio: 

 

      Let’s get started! A great way to strengthen your successful learning journey at KSU is to use the resources on our campus. Consult www.kennesaw.edu for more detailed information on campus resources. Use the following spreadsheet to help your track your use of KSU Resources. Most importantly, record what your learned and how these resources can help you during your entire college journey.
