I am often asked to write reference or recommendation letters, or otherwise act as a reference, for current and former students, whether for employment, fellowships/scholarships, or graduate school admission. Since it is in your best interest to receive the best possible recommendation or reference, I have prepared these guidelines to help improve the process.
