Provide a way for you to organize your paperwork for 4th year (you can also set up electronic files using this design)

Provide a way for you to cut down on the time it takes to apply for away electives

Provide a place for you to store your important information

For the remainder of this PowerPoint, consider each slide to be a pocket in a binder (or a folder on your computer) that contains important information for the 4th year.

The title of the slide is the name of the folder.

The bullets are what you should put in each folder.
