ORCID is a great tool for students, graduate and undergraduate alike! Beginning with any scholarly works from undergraduate all the way to a thesis or dissertation, consider ORCID as your scholarly portfolio. If LinkedIn is your professional portfolio, ORCID is for your academic works. Creating an ORCID as early as you can allows you to keep your record up to date as you contribute to your scholarly output.
Be sure to add your Seton Hall education affiliation to have the metadata verification. See the SHU Affiliation section on the menu to the left to learn how to add your affiliation. Metadata verified will apply to the education section and employment sections.
