Letter of Recommendation

Please complete the form below to request a letter of recommendation. I get asked to write quite a few letters and have finite time so filling out this request form does not guarantee that I will write one for you. I typically will respond to the request within 3 business days.

For examples of how I think of requests for letters of recommendation, go here.

Name

First Name

Last Name

How do I know you?

In case it's been awhile (e.g., you were in New Venture Development in fall 2023).

Explain what the letter of recommendation is for (e.g., study abroad, grad school, etc.) and why you are pursuing this opportunity.

Provide a link to the program/opportunity if available.

What do you think I can specifically to speak to (compared to your other recommenders)?

Discuss why you specifically want ME to provide a letter of recommendation (e.g., I saw your transformation from being scared to present to presenting confidently)

What do you you hope I mention in your letter?

Mention any specific skills (e.g., your ability to work well with others, etc.), learning, or scenarios that I would be privy to and able to speak to in your letter.

When is the letter of recommendation due?

Respond to the best of your ability.
