Before you begin, organize your pages and upload your files. The pages have been created using standard terminology from historical LU promotion and tenure files. You may choose to modify the page names or page elements to meet the needs of your individual career.

Since this portfolio will follow your entire career, we strongly recommend that you create a separate storage folder for each page or even each bullet point. While the files may seem manageable at first, time will make your lists long, and folders will help you to stay organized.

Think about dates to help you organize. For example, you may attend a given meeting every year. After five years, how will you organize your display or find the right file to attach? If you name your files "Annual meeting 1", "annual meeting 2", etc., you might have to open each file to make sure it's the right one. Consider naming them, "2015, Organization Name Annual Meeting," "2014, Organization Name Annual Meeting," "2013, Organization Name Annual Meeting," This process only takes a few seconds to name and may save you hours looking for specific evidence in future years.
