'And You Want Me to Write What?'

This session centered on recommendation letters and tips on how to get teachers to write one for you. A handout was passed out with one side giving examples of two recommendation letters and the other with the top 10 things to remember when looking for a great reference. Some of the tips include providing a job description of the job or internship and giving the adviser a resume and portfolio to jog their memory. We were also taught that the adviser is like "Santa Claus" and is watching a student at all times. Also, the adviser is keener to write a great recommendation letter for a student who is always trying and working hard.
