Each year, BIC cancels class and hosts a weeklong Portfolio Bootcamp, where graduating students get the chance to work intensely on their portfolios with the help of visiting BIC alums and professionals who provide design, content, and storytelling expertise. This year was no exception. BICsters from the BIC Class of 2024 were able to roll up their sleeves and take their portfolios to the next level. 

BICsters attended one virtual session with our BIC Alum tutors early in the week. Then, they all met in our Shepard Hall computer lab to implement the recent feedback before the final troubleshooting session on campus on Thursday, with our local NYC alumni checking back in with our BICsters to give them final notes. 

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 21st, 2024.
