Embedded Files
Alzheimer's disease impacts more than 5 million Americans living with the disease and 16 million friends and family serving as caregivers. As many as 300,000 individuals with Alzheimer’s are under age 65, meaning they have the early-onset form of the disease. The goal for Longitudinal Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Study (LEADS) is to understand why some people develop Alzheimer’s disease so early; look for genetic determinants of the disease and its early biomarkers; and track the progression of the disease.
This is a video about the LEADS study and the major goal. This video sums up the overall focus of LEADS and why early onset patients are their main focus
In April add:
your elevator pitch visual (example above). You can put it anywhere on the page, we recommend toward the top to grab the viewer’s attention.
If you attended a poster session, conference, presentation, or published as a result of LHSI, add that information here too!
In April you'll add:
your showcase project summary. Give it a heading like Project Summary or Abstract. Embed your final project file beneath this summary. If you’ve created a separate page to highlight your work, add a link or button to link to the page here to make it easier to find.
your final project. The Prezi and Powerpoint below are examples of where you could put your final project. This project is about your work and can be any of the types of files we talked about at the workshop and in the Canvas module about the showcase.
Workplace
Workplace
In February, add:
What kind of team member you have been this year? How did your team role change throughout the internship?
How did your contributions impact the larger project, goals, or mission of your internship team? Why did your efforts, no matter how small or routine, matter to getting the bigger job done?
Learning and Growth
Learning and Growth
In March you'll complete your spring self-assessment (link in Canvas). Learning to assess your own growth and learning progress is an important skill you’ll need in graduate school and in the workplace. You did a similar self-assessment at orientation and in October to continue to track your growth.
After you submit the self-assessment add the following to your ePortfolio:
March: Which skills on the survey are you using or where are you more confident since fall? Give examples of how you're using the skills or how you know you're growing.
March: Which skills from the survey would you like to continue to work on? What will you do to grow the skills this semester or after LHSI?
In March, explain how has the internship helped you gain a deeper understanding of your coursework and major this year.
