ELN Digital Badges
Earn a digital badge while working on a mentored project to display evidence of your skills and accomplishments to future employers and graduate schools.
The best time to start is early—even during Freshman year!
The ELN recommends learning more about the Project Portal and how to get started through this short video introduction. Once you find a project you're interested in, simply email the project mentor to express your interest and share your goals. UB really does make it that easy to get connected to unique opportunities and experiences to support your future career.
Take a look at what other students have done to get inspired! If you have more questions before getting started, you can attend a Project Workshop.
You can also make an appointment with an ELN staff member by selecting the following options from the Appointment module in Navigate: Student Support > Experiential Learning Network Appointments.
