James,

I just finished your final ALCW-Up. You did a spectacular job wrapping up your portfolio this week!

Your portfolio has now passed Cycle Wrap-Up. I intend to send your portfolio to Andrew for his final review by Friday January 17th, noon. He will send it on to external review on the 20th.

During/After External Review:
1. Contact Admin to ensure that you’ve completed all next steps related to administrative tasks. This includes filing for your diploma.
2. Make any necessary changes to OP’s 4-5 based on Andrew and I’s final reviews - for Gaia U quality assurance.
3. We need to discuss the concept of a publishable article. I’m up for ideas/suggestions as per our previous conversation.
4. Schedule and execute your End-of-Phase Presentation
5. If you wish to have a personally selected thematic that shows up on your Degree, you’ll need to submit a 2-page proposal. Page one overviews the field (define, provide historical context, present resources) and page two states the necessary qualifications in the field (based on other organizations/institutions) and your validation as to why you deserve this qualification. If you do not agree with standards set by other institutions than evaluate them, and propose a resolution.
6. Confirm the title of your pathway and of each OP for your transcript.
7. Upload your approved content workshop into the supporting evidence section of OP 5.
