Blog Series: Recommendation LETTERS

10/6/2021

1 Comment

 

I’m not sure where, but I recently read that writing letters of recommendation is “ubiquitous for academics or those following a research career.” Isn’t this the truth! It seems like a very short time ago that I was the student asking for a letter for graduate school or an award, but now, I am pretty consistently asked to write letters for students moving on in their academic careers. I know the weight that these letters can carry. I also know that I didn’t ever receive any sort of formal training or instruction on how to write an appropriate, impactful letter. If you are in the same boat, then you will love the series of posts that will be coming on our website over the next 6 months!
 
Our first post, written by our very own Dr. Hope Gerde, focuses on how to ask for a letter of support.  This post will be followed by one about writing letters of support for students for grad school and for faculty positions, with more to follow. We hope you find these helpful!
