Recommendations

Requesting a Letter of Recommendation

Before submitting a potential recommender's name, please ask the person if they are able and willing to write the letter. 

Be respectful of your recommender's time. At minimum, you need to give a week advance notice. 

Provide them with a copy of your resume. Your resume should include any work or volunteer experiences, extracurricular activities, honors or awards, and achievements. (Follow the template used in your e-portfolio and share the document electronically.)

Express gratitude by saying thank you or writing a note of appreciation.
