Description:
The University of Arizona College of Fine Arts ePortfolio System is a digital archive and online showcase of works created by College of Fine Arts faculty, students and staff. The ePortfolio system will display participating artists' works, in thumbnail and full format, along with the artist's resume and personal statement (if desired), for viewing by third parties over the Internet. The System's content also will be used to promote the diversity and quality of creative work produced in the UA College of Fine Arts.
Through the ePortfolio System's records, the University will maintain ongoing contact with participating artists. For example, the University (including the Office of Continuing Education and Academic Outreach), the University of Arizona Foundation, The University of Arizona Alumni Association, or similar organizations, may send targeted messages in the future to participating artists through the "Message Center" on the main Control Panel page of the ePortfolio. The artist may discontinue this service by clicking the "Off" button in the Message Center, when the above-mentioned functionality is implemented.
