intern and advisee for 2 years. She has had tremendous success in all of these areas within
the Communication Studies department and I am confident that she will excel in any work
environment because of her creativity,her attention to detail, and her strong workethic.
There are many examples that I can share that exemplify these qualities. A recent one is
when Michele interned for me last year for the Communication Studies department. She
was the first student to receivean internship with our department and she was able to start
from the “ground up,” which has set the standard for future interns. Michele essentially
developed our internship program forthe department. She created programing,
workshops, marketed our department, developed intern manuals, and much more. Michele
was innovative, was able to workindependently, and was able to complete tasks in a timely
manner. Michele did a wonderfuljob for us and created a position for future students to
follow.
As a student and person, Michele is the best. She was a leader in my classroom and worked
in a team-centered environment well! Her writing and speaking skills are excellent.
Michele is a problem solver and uses criticalthinking skills to finds solutions. She is
strategic in her communication withothers and knowshow to create messages effectively
according to her audience’s needs. As an employee, I am certain these skills will be
