Dear Ms. ______,

It is an honor for me to forward this letter of recommendation for Leanne Boyd., who has submitted application for the following positions: Professor of Office Technology/Business, Professor of Office Technology/Computer Information Systems, and Dean of Business and Technology. While I attended The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online, I had the great fortune of having her as one of my instructors. Of all of the instructors that I have experienced at The Art Institute, East Texas State University, and Texas Woman’s University, she emerges at the apex of quality instruction and overall giftedness as an instructor and leader.

The qualities which render her the cream of the crop are her impeccable organizational skills, dedication to her position and her students, desire for quality, her innate gift in dealing with people, and her quality management of the classroom, while providing encouragement and individualized attention to distinct student needs. What is so unique about her and my experience with her an instructor, is that it was an online class. For these qualities to shine so generously online is an outstanding compliment to Leanne.

Ms. Boyd maintains the utmost standards in leadership, and exemplifies outstanding attention to her responsibilities in her position. Without doubt, as I experienced, she possesses a high level of competency in many different fields of study. Her initiative and careful instructional planning ability would be a great asset to any potential employer. Ms. Boyd possesses extensive knowledge and expertise in regard to the educational process, and exhibits a wonderful ability to motivate and encourage each individual student. There appeared to be a continual process of assessment and structuring as was indicated in the classroom.

In addition to all of the above assets that I experienced with Ms. Boyd, her personal character was stellar. I am a counselor and believe that I can evaluate personal characteristics rather well. Without doubt, her personal integrity is outstanding... Whether in a major leadership position with extensive responsibility, or a position with less responsibility, she will be 100% at all times. She has powerful people skills and a great ability to join with those around her quite quickly and effectively. This ability is not often found in many people, and is a necessity in working effectively in organizational structure.

Without any reservations I recommend Ms. Boyd for the positions for which she has applied. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Debra K. Pennell
