5. "As an incoming freshman I was lucky to
[have] the opportunity to work with professors
over the summer. I do not regret this decision
because it helped me move forward in
experiencing college prior to the fall
semester, and I recommend the summer
courses for all incoming freshman. This
summer I learned so much about myself: how
to balance work, my strengths and
weakness, and how to improve them. During
the course I got to have a one-on-one
connection with the professors because of
their encouragement and challenges. My
biggest change over the summer was finding
my own voice, due to the professors’ openness
of our opinions".
~Sydney Currie

is a great example of the different
ways you can present your course
work on ePortfolio. She included
her class assignments at the
top, as well as in downloadable
files on the side. She enhanced the
page by adding
wordles, videos, and pictures
related to her studies and field of
interest.

7. • “Over the summer I was worried about
academically transitioning to
college, but luckily I was aware of the
Pace Prep Summer Course. After
completing the course, I can definitely
say that it has been a huge benefit. I was
able to brush up on my basic academic
skills and even learn about different
career fields and their majors.
Also, working with ePortfolio and
Blackboard gave me the advantage of
learning how to use those sites.
Overall, I am so grateful and thankful to
have had the opportunity of working
with the Pace Prep Course this past
summer and having it help me transition
into Pace University smoothly.”
