Jeanette Hill and Calvin Purvis

Two employees in the Career Placement & Internship Services office have been of major importance as a team to operationally develop the office capability to provide ePortfolios for our students.  An ePortfolio is an electronic method of sharing career related materials in a cost effective way through the internet or on a disk.

Mrs. V. Jeanette Hill, Information Research Technician, and Mr. Calvin B. Purvis, Assistant Director have developed the ePortfolio concept to empower students to plan and develop electronically documented educational development, learned technical skills and relevant competencies.  They have built methods and established standards for selecting and recording career skills to provide employers with documentation that ETSU graduates are ready to make effective contributions to the work place.  The finished products have become the method of measuring the outcome of this effort.

These two valued employees have a willingness to work with, and help, students.  They are willing to give of their time to solve student-related issues.  The on-campus, as well as the off-campus, communities have gained considerable respect for their knowledge of emerging technical trends and their applications for the career needs of students.  They have gained employer and peer respect.  These characteristics make Mrs. Hill and Mr. Purvis attractive candidates for the outstanding ETSU employee recognition.
