I met Noah in Wilhelmshaven, Germany this summer while I was teaching a study- abroad course in Fluid Mechanics. Noah and several other Media students shared the same living arrangements as the engineering students and we participated in joint field trips. Other than having different classes, we were essentially all the same family. Noah helped a lot of us with software and Wi-Fi issues and certainly saved us a lot of time because he had figured out the system a week before we arrived. He currently provides similar technical support here at TTU. He also participated on several self- arranged trips on the weekends. Most weekends we (the study-abroad team) would travel somewhere to experience the culture in which we were immersed. While we were all in Germany, Noah balanced his studies and social activities well neither seemed to suffer and he achieved the cultural immersion goal of study-abroad as well as meeting his academic commitments. I have reviewed his resume (and advertising design portfolio) and am impressed with his accomplishments so far. The topic is far outside my professional activities, but the work is genuine and adheres to my perception of what Media planning should encompass. He has prior work experience in the profession so should be able to leverage those experiences into this position. My assessment, based on the job description, prior experience reflected in the resume, and my observations of him for a brief period in Germany in the context of the bullet list in the job description, is that he would be an effective strategic planner.
