This panel workshop, led by three Northwestern Professors, is geared towards writers and requesters of letters of reference, support, and recommendation. These letters play a consistent role in our lives, as essential elements of applications to graduate programs, research grants, fellowships, and jobs inside and outside of the academy. Please join us for lunch on Friday, April 5th to learn more about what goes into successful recommendation letters, including how requesters can choose recommenders wisely and support their letter writers in this important process.
