Each year, BIC follows its annual recruiting event, the BIC PiP (Portfolios-in-Progress), with a weeklong Portfolio Bootcamp, where graduating students get the chance to work intensely on their portfolios with the help of visiting professionals who provide design, content, and storytelling expertise. This year was no different with new opportunities for reflection, celebration, and innovation, including an Open Mic Night for students, War Stories from alumni as well as sessions focused on craft and dynamic content. BICsters from the BIC Class of 2022 were able to roll up their sleeves and take their portfolios to the next level. 

While the first three sessions were remote, the final troubleshooting session was held on campus with local NYC alumni working with our BICsters to get their portfolios in shape. 

Our professional mentors offered invaluable expertise and substantive feedback giving BIC students all the insider tips, tricks, and tools they'll need to perfect their portfolios for what we expect will be standout presentations on Portfolio Thesis Defense day May 31st, 2022.

A BIG BIC shout out to our amazing experts: Yoni Weiss, Gerardo Cid, George Logothetis, Paul Barman, Caroline Monday, Christopher Brunt, Danae Gosset, Lorena Marques and Peter Seterdahl. 

We were especially excited to welcome back some BIC alums who are now successful pros -- and truly know how to bring BIC portfolios to life. Joining us was Raymond Sein BIC ‘20, Andy Kwan BIC '16, Cassondra Bazelow BIC '16, Paul Bernabe BIC ‘21, Taylor Becker BIC ‘20, Katie Kistner BIC ‘19, Jermine Hodge BIC ‘21, and Ahmet Reisli BIC ‘16. 

A Big BIC thank you to all our BICsters for their tenacity, perseverance, and dedication to developing their portfolios. We can't wait to see the work you defend in May. Bring it on, BICsters!
