Signature Work

The original research, writing, or work of art you’ll complete in the final semesters of college or graduate school is considered your signature work.

Signature work is a key component of every student’s Dominican Experience. How completing signature work will help you gain a competitive edge:

  • Address some of today’s most pressing problems and complicated real-world issues through your signature work. Imagine being able to do meaningful research in an area that is important to you, while demonstrating your knowledge to future employers or graduate programs. 
  • Present your work at the annual Scholarly and Creative Works Conference and show off your skills, knowledge, research and presentations skills to your peers, professors, family, as well as the entire Dominican community. 
  • Showcase your signature work through a digital portfolio, allowing future employers or graduate school admissions committees to experience your many accomplishments in a way that a traditional paper resume or application simply can’t do.  
  • Publish your signature work on Dominican Scholar, a website where researchers and employers from across the globe can read, download and share what you accomplished at Dominican.
