Recommendation Letters

Faculty members are often asked to provide letters of reference that illustrate the professional qualifications and demeanor of students. When writing these letters, please consider:

• In what capacity and how long have you known the student?
• How has the student performed in areas relevant to the position they are applying to?
• Why would you recommend this student for employment?

Volunteer and Community Service
