Dear Director,
It is my pleasure to recommend Sarah Goodrum as a candidate for admission to the
MBA program at Plymouth State University.
I first met Sarah when she was a student in my StrategiC Management, Capstone course
at Granite State College where I am an adjunct Professor of Business Studies for 18
years. Knowing Sarah makes it is easy for me to state that she has a strong desire to
succeed and takes her studies seriously. Her course work was always outstanding; she
attended every class; and her contribution to the dass strategy group project was always
positive and informative which enhanced the leaming experience. With her superior work
and obvious interest in the course of study, Business, she excelled in the class. I design
my classes to encourage creativity and critical thinking while introducing the basic
principles of business. Sarah is a natural in this leaming environment. Her team went
on to eam a top 25 rank in the Gfo-Business Strategy Game where the students were
competing with over 400 teams globally.
I think very highly of her and as an entrepreneur Iknow that she has all the qualities that
I look for in an employee and future executive. I have no doubt that she will apply her
education and strong values to be a positive amtributor to the business community and
SOciety. If needed I would be happy to speak with you so feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
~c Dpt;, mlJ;
