To whom it may concern,

Rebecca Gross is a recent graduate from Maryville University. She has been a student in my class and one of the work study students I supervise as studio manager of the graphic design de-partment. Having worked with Rebecca in two capacities I feel I am in a good position to evalu-ate her performance.

As a student in my Intro to Digital Media class, Rebecca was conscientious, attentive and eager !"#$%&'()#*+%#,-./%0#1,#(%2#-(3"'4&!-"(#51-./$6)#71'-(8#!+%#9':!#.$&::#:+%#:&!#(%;!#!"#&#2"4&(#who was struggling with the technical skills needed for the projects. Rebecca assisted her during class and even met with her outside of class throughout the semester to help her keep up with the group. Rebecca was very patient and had the ability to break things down so the student could better assimilate the new information. Noticing this I asked Rebecca to tutor other students dur-ing her work study time. She was a natural. By the time a student requests help they are usually quite frustrated and have dropped behind in their work. Because of this I am very careful about assigning a work study student to tutor. I trusted Rebecca to be able to handle the challenge and I was not disappointed. She did a great job.

The job description for a work study student calls for someone to be technically savvy, good with people, detail oriented, alert, hard working, prompt and able to work without constant supervi-:-"()#<%=%..&#%;.%$$%0#&!#&$$#"3#!+%#&=">%)#*+%#2&:#%;.%,!-"(&$$6#8""0#&!#."441(-.&!-(8)#*+%#often worked weekends when I was not at school and she always took note of details such as technical issues or problems that arose and kept me informed. She took the job seriously and would see something that needed to be done and take the initiative to tackle it without needing to be told. She made my job easier. One of her tasks was to print student work on a large format printer. During peak printing times she would voluntarily stay late to print in order to keep our 2"'/#?"2#4">-(8)
