LCP Portfolio
What is the LCP
Portfolio
The portfolio is a record or documentation of evidence demonstrating
successful completion of the seven requirements of the Leadership Certificate
Program. The portfolio will contain the following elements:
• table of contents
• the LCP plan (PDF)
• reflection papers for each of the three elective courses (PDF)
• reflection paper on the initiative component (PDF)
• reflection paper on the difference and diversity component (PDF)
• student journal written in conjunction with the group work experience (PDF)
• reflection paper about the service component (PDF)
• a leadership resume (PDF)
• summary reflection paper (PDF)
Organization and
format of the portfolio
The elements of the portfolio, placed in order as listed above, should
be typed, double-spaced, using 11 or 12-point font, on 8-1/2 x 11 white
paper, and inserted in a three-ring binder. All pages should be numbered
consecutively, with the table of contents reflecting the first page
number of each element. Tabs may be used to identify each element. A
cover page should be placed in front of the portfolio identifying the
student, their major and minor, and local and permanent contact information.
LS405: Leadership Certificate Summary Seminar is a ½ credit elective course offered each term to facilitate portfolio development. Students work with one another and faculty members affiliated with the Institute for Leadership Education in a seminar format to write, review, and provide feedback regarding each of their portfolio elements. While this is an elective course for students pursuing the Leadership Certificate, it has proven extremely helpful to students preparing their portfolios for submission.
While portfolios are individual in nature, the Leadership Education Committee and the Institute for Leadership Education has also developed a set of guidelines to assist students as they prepare their reflection papers.
Portfolio submission
and review
Once all requirements have been completed the portfolio is submitted
to the Director of the Institute for Leadership Education. For Spring
graduates this is no later than May 1 of the year of graduation, and
for Winter graduates is no later than December 1 of the term of graduation.
Portfolios are reviewed and approved by the faculty of the Leadership
Institute, and the members of the Leadership Education Committee.
