To
whom
it
may
concern,
It
is
with
great
pleasure
that
I
write
this
letter
of
recommendation
for
Sean
Cornell.
As
Sean’s
primary
advisor
for
his
role
as
the
Outreach
and
Recruitment
Director
for
the
Student
Association
at
the
University
of
Wisconsin
Milwaukee,
I
can
confidently
speak
to
his
skills
and
talents
in
pursuing
a
future
career
in
marketing
and
public
relations.
Sean
started
his
position
with
the
Student
Association
in
the
spring
of
2015,
after
there
was
a
significant
period
of
time
with
a
lack
of
strong
outreach
and
recruitment
and
a
vacancy
in
his
position.
Sean
jumped
into
the
outreach
and
recruitment
position
head-­‐on
and
quickly
began
recruiting
students
to
fill
vacancies
in
the
Senate.
He
displayed
a
committed
work
ethic
and
stellar
ability
to
work
independently
and
self-­‐motivate
in
a
position
that
requires
a
lot
of
time
and
attention.
This
semester,
Sean
has
gone
above
and
beyond
and
led
the
recruitment
efforts
of
the
Student
Association
in
a
way
that
has
led
to
a
nearly
full
Senate
for
the
first
time
I
have
experienced
in
my
role
as
an
advisor.
In
an
organization
with
53
formal
student
roles,
and
dozens
of
other
informal
roles
for
students
on
committees,
and
at
a
university
with
a
significant
commuter
and
non-­‐traditional
population,
recruiting
and
retaining
members
can
be
quite
a
challenge.
As
of
today,
50
of
the
53available
formal
positions
are
filled,
and
the
vast
majority
of
the
committee
seats
are
filled
as
well.
Sean
played
a
critical
role
in
reaching
out
to
key
stakeholders
and
constituencies
to
not
only
fill
these
seats,
but
also
identify
emerging
student
leaders
who
would
transform
and
enhance
the
Student
Association.
We
also
recently
held
an
election
for
the
five
available
freshman
senate
seats,
an
election
that
has
historically
lacked
participation
and
awareness
on
campus.
Sean
assisted
in
the
recruitment
of
15
total
candidates
for
those
five
spots,
and
election
turnout
with
over
4,000
votes.
Sean
has
been
an
incredible
asset
to
the
Student
Association,
not
only
because
of
his
recruiting
skills,
but
also
the
professionalism
and
collegiality
he
brings
to
the
organization
as
a
whole.
The
impact
of
the
work
he
has
done
this
past
year
has
set
the
organization
on
a
significantly
positive
track
for
the
next
several
years
and
I
believe
whole-­‐heartedly
that
he
will
excel
all
of
his
future
endeavors.
Thank
you
so
much,
