To Whom It May Concern:

I write this letter in support and recommendation of Sarah Rumple. Sarah, a former student from my Business and Professional Speaking and Principles of Advertising courses at the University of Colorado Denver, displays many qualities I believe deserve commendation and articulation. In this letter, I will touch on Sarah’s performance in my courses, her intellectual ability, and the qualities I believe make her a strong candidate for employment.

I first met Sarah when she enrolled in my Communication 2050 course four years ago. During our time together, I watched Sarah mature personally and academically. She engaged each assignment and improved with each new task. Upon completion of the first assignment, Sarah made a commitment to stop by during my office hours before each of her speaking assignments to ensure she met each requirement and was completely prepared. I believe this to be an example of Sarah’s dedication to scholarship. Moreover, Sarah’s Individual Advertising Campaign Portfolio, “Health: Mind and Body Wealth (The Skinny Mom Blog--A Mom’s Guide to Better Nutrition)” was selected as the most creative and effective campaign in our class. This is a young woman who truly embraces the University and Department of Communication mission. Sarah is a bright and articulate young woman with excellent interpersonal communication skills that only enhance her professional opportunities. I consider Sarah to be the best AND most promising undergraduate I have encountered at the University of Colorado Denver

As an applicant for employment, I believe Sarah should be strongly considered. Sarah has worked hard since the time we met. I am hopeful she will be presented with the opportunity to be recognized for the scholarship, intellect, and personal qualities I have seen her display over the course of her undergraduate career.

Respectfully,
