Important Notice: It takes time to write a good letter and many requests seem to come in all at the same time! You must request your letter at least one month before your deadline, or I may not be able to draft it in time. In order to write you a great letter of recommendation, I need to know more about your career at Washington and Lee. Please fill out and submit the following form. I encourage you to flaunt your stuff! What do you want the person who reads my letter to know about you? Once I receive this information, I will e-mail you to set up a time when we can get together to chat about your plans in more detail. When we meet I may want you to bring a professional looking resume, so you should be working on that now.
