During college I interned at the Urban Conservancy in New Orleans. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. This recommendation is from my project supervisor.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to recommend Jenna Kellam as a candidate. I worked with Jenna at the
Urban Conservancy where she volunteered under the Stay Local program, through one of
her sociology classes at Tulane University during the Fall of 2005.
Stay Local (http://www.urbanconservancy.org/contents.htm) is a citywide initiative for
creating a strong economy based on locally owned and operated business. Jenna and some
of her fellow classmates worked together to publish a neighborhood business directory in
support of a local New Orleans community and their struggling businesses. Jenna worked
on all stages of this project including gaining local support, collecting the business’ contact
information, organizing the directory, and distributing the published directories. Jenna took
lead of the student group by volunteering to act as project manager.
While advising Jenna, I learned that she is motivated and devoted to her goals. She is a
true humanitarian. Jenna worked well with the other volunteers and formed strong
relationships with members of the community we were working to support. She was
always on time and always prepared for our weekly meetings. Jenna offered many useful
suggestions and kept the group on track. Dedication was further demonstrated, when she
composed a press release for the project and worked with Tulane’s Office of Public
Relations to have it released. Jenna went above and beyond by revisiting the community
after the directories were published to help distribute the directories and visit with the
business owners. Jenna is enthusiastic, organized, responsible and dependable. It was a
pleasure to work with her.
Jenna was motivated by a good cause and was dedicated to seeing our project through. I
was proud of the work she did for the Stay Local program and am confident in
recommending her.
Sincerely,
Sean Gerowin
