| The buzz about NYUeVita!
From NYU students:
"I really like that with NYU eVita I can have so many different
aspects of my work collected all in one place. It's great to have
something that really highlights my personality outside of the classroom;
this ePortfolio helps show who I am as a well-rounded individual,
not just
who I am academically. It's also great that I can access it almost
anywhere, which I'm sure will help me in the future to market myself
as
someone with a bredth of knowledge, interests, experiences, and skills!"
-- Serena,
Class of 2010
" NYU eVita is a great tool for tracking my co-curricular activities!
It's the perfect compliment to my resume as it allows me to expound
upon items listed there as well as highlight additional activities.
This is a service I'll use long after graduation!"
-- Matt, Class
of 2009
What do employers think?
"There's more to hiring college students than only reviewing
academic performance. The best candidates have an array of experiences
outside the classroom that will add considerable value to the organizations
they join, from campus organizations to community service. NYUeVita
gives employers the ability to review these valuable attributes in
an efficient and timely manner."

"At Goldman Sachs, we make an unusual effort to identify and
recruit the very best person for every job. In order to find the right
people, we consider every aspect of someone's candidacy and look for
the well-rounded individual. NYUeVita allows students to highlight
such attributes as teamwork, leadership, and creativity in addition
to academic merit. NYUeVita is a unique resource available for students
to showcase all that they have to offer to prospective employers."

"NYU-Evita allows me to see the full applicant. As a Peace Corps
recruiter,
I look for more than just the GPA or a previous internship. With Evita
I can
see each applicant¹s volunteer experience, interests and hobbies,
even club
memberships. Even before the interview I understand more about who
this
applicant is."

What do service organizations think?
"NYUEvita will be a critical assessment tool for non-profit organizations
such as the International Center in New York that offer substantive
internship and volunteer opportunities in New York City. Using NYUEvita
to review applicants' varied backgrounds will help ICNY in its search
for culturally sensitive individuals who are genuinely interested
in global affairs and can best serve the English language learning
and cultural needs of this city's newcomers. "
