You're invited: Reference Letter Workshop

[Shannon Dea]

Want to write more effective reference letters for your students?  Plan to
attend this upcoming workshop:

Three experienced (and successful) writers of reference letters for graduate
students, Sandra Burt (Political Science, Associate Dean of Arts, Graduate
Studies and Research), Ian Rowlands (Environment and Resource Studies,
Associate Dean, Research, Faculty of Environment) and Ralph Haas (Civil and
Environmental Engineering, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, FRSC), will
share their advice and expertise. How do you write a letter for a mediocre
student? For a good one? For a great one? How do you make your letter stand
out? How should letters for academic programs, professional programs and
jobs differ? A panel discussion will be followed by a question and answer
period. Co-sponsored by UW's Learning Community on Supervising Graduate
Students.
