Denise's FrogFolio is immaculate in its writing, organization, design, and structure. Virtually error-free and exemplary in its construction and tone, her FrogFolio is both personal and professional at the same time. Academics are woven throughout with beautiful photography, links to external sites showcasing work and interests, and stories from her life that serve to contextualize her learning and experiences. While she may not have as much content just yet as some of the other nominees, she is off to an excellent start and we are confident her work will garner her much attention and opportunitiy.

 

 

 

SECOND PLACE OVERALL: Brooke Arnold

Brooke’s FrogFolio is full of fun, informative, well-designed entries. She broke out of the template and really invested herself in the project. When you explore Brooke’s FrogFolio, you feel as though you are having a conversation with her and you walk away understanding who she is, where she is in her thinking, and what she values. It is our hope you will spend time perusing her pages to see examples of good voice, clarity of expression, organization, and design. We are excited to see where she takes her FrogFolio in the rest of her time here at TCU and beyond.

Overall she has a very unique FrogFolio that effectively serves to showcase her personality and who she is as a person.

_college_life_portfolio/Welcome/



Sarah is an excellent writer, and it shows throughout all of her sections. Her information is descriptive and meaningful, with personal depth. Instead of merely summarizing an idea - she expands on it and creates meaningful experiences for readers. It was a pleasure to learn about her through her words.
