I am happy to write letters of recommendation for students and research assistants. Should you ask me for a letter, please prepare the following materials at least 3 weeks in advance of the letter’s due date:

• the name of the program/position to which you are applying
• a brief statement about why you are interested in the position and what you’d like to achieve from the experience
• your CV or resume
• an unofficial transcript
• information on where I should send the letter
• where applicable, a signed form waiving your rights to view the letter.

Preparing these materials in advance will help me complete the letter in a timely manner.
