Introduction

The following is the Table of Contents to my portfolio resume. Since 1990, I have kept a

portfolio relevant to my professional growth and development. These items included in

my portfolio provide a more complete understanding of my skills, interests and abilities.

I believe my portfolio describes my work better than a resume as it presents a fuller

description of my background and experience. I would be pleased to send copies of any

item in my portfolio upon request. Please feel free to contact me if I may answer any

questions you might have.

Yours truly,

Boniface C. Nwugwo, PhD
