Letters of Support
It is always so humbling to hear directly from respected colleagues and amazing professors. As part of my promotion package to Senior Lecturer, these colleagues were kind enough to support my promotion and wrote letters of support in order to help the promotion committee understand my abilities as well as how I view my role as educator at SCU. These letters are only viewable to SCU employees.
