RE: Victoria Lee Parsons School of Design, Class of 2015
It is my great pleasure to write on behalf of Victoria Lee, who was a student of mine at Parsons
in the Spring 2015 semester. Spring 2015 was Victoria’s final semester at Parsons, and she had
enrolled for the seminar I teach to Seniors as the capstone to 4 years at Parsons. My course is
only open to the very best of the graduating Seniors. It is interdisciplinary, which means I have
the honor of teaching top students from each of the degreegranting programs at Parsons.
Ms. Lee was at the top of this competitive group of students. From day 1, in January 2015, she
scored highest on papers, exams, and inclass presentations. I could always count on her to
contribute in class. And in addition, she was rarely absent, and always punctual.
All of this – the grades, the inclass presentations and the fact that she was always prepared –
speak to her future in any career. I am sure that Ms. Lee will quickly distinguish herself as both a
teamplayer and a source of original, and creative ideas. She is reliable, quick to learn, and
technologically on the cuttingedge.
It is fortuitous that she has applied for the position of Junior Graphic Designer. I know that her
graphic design skills are unparalleled. She comes to you with proficiency in Photoshop, and
Illustrator.
Victoria is a great communicator – verbally, electronically, and in print. She can be depended
upon to step into the world of her future career, and become a trusted member of your team.
I gave Ms. Lee a welldeserved grade of A in May, 2015. And I am pleased to be giving her my
highest recommendation now.
Yours,
JP Rosenfeld, Ph.D.
