To	
 Whom	
 It	
 May	
 Concern:	
 
	
 
It	
 is	
 my	
 great	
 pleasure	
 to	
 have	
 the	
 opportunity	
 to	
 write	
 a	
 letter	
 of	
 recommendation	
 for	
 Charles	
 
Kienbaum.	
 Charlie	
 was	
 an	
 excellent	
 student	
 in	
 two	
 of	
 my	
 courses	
 (Integrated	
 Marketing	
 
Communications	
 and	
 People	
 &	
 Money,	
 which	
 is	
 a	
 psychological	
 and	
 behavioral	
 pricing	
 class)	
 during	
 
the	
 2015-­‐2016	
 school	
 year.	
 As	
 a	
 professor,	
 I	
 come	
 in	
 contact	
 with	
 hundreds	
 of	
 students	
 and	
 Charlie	
 
is	
 one	
 of	
 those	
 special	
 students	
 who	
 is	
 remembered	
 long	
 after	
 the	
 course	
 is	
 over.	
 	
 
	
 
Charlie	
 was	
 a	
 delight	
 to	
 have	
 as	
 a	
 student.	
 Both	
 courses	
 were	
 discussion-­‐based	
 and	
 he	
 was	
 an	
 avid	
 
and	
 meaningful	
 contributor.	
 He	
 is	
 a	
 strong	
 communicator	
 verbally	
 in	
 class	
 and	
 also	
 has	
 strong	
 
presentation	
 skills,	
 far	
 above	
 the	
 average	
 student.	
 He	
 also	
 has	
 solid	
 written	
 communication	
 skills.	
 
He	
 has	
 a	
 rare	
 combination	
 of	
 being	
 both	
 confident	
 and	
 humble.	
 I	
 say	
 this	
 because	
 students	
 often	
 
find	
 my	
 classes	
 difficult	
 and	
 describe	
 me	
 as	
 a	
 “tough”	
 grader.	
 Of	
 course,	
 I	
 have	
 very	
 high	
 
expectations	
 for	
 the	
 students	
 and	
 like	
 to	
 set	
 a	
 high	
 bar	
 so	
 that	
 they	
 strive	
 to	
 achieve.	
 When	
 Charlie	
 
wasn’t	
 satisfied	
 with	
 the	
 score	
 that	
 he	
 received,	
 he	
 very	
 respectfully	
 and	
 genuinely	
 asked	
 for	
 help	
 in	
 
improving	
 and	
 when	
 given	
 more	
 feedback	
 he	
 applied	
 it	
 and	
 consistently	
 improved	
 through	
 
acquiring	
 new	
 skills	
 and	
 pushing	
 himself	
 to	
 deliver	
 excellent	
 work.	
 This	
 approach	
 is	
 sadly	
 a	
 rare	
 
thing	
 to	
 observe	
 in	
 undergraduate	
 students	
 in	
 my	
 experience.	
 Additionally,	
 Charlie	
 is	
 a	
 very	
 
friendly,	
 likeable	
 person	
 and	
 the	
 peer	
 evaluations	
 indicate	
 that	
 he	
 was	
 a	
 strong	
 leader	
 and	
 very	
 well	
 
liked	
 in	
 his	
 team	
 projects.	
 The	
 things	
 I	
 remember	
 most	
 about	
 Charlie	
 are	
 his	
 positive,	
 friendly	
 
attitude	
 and	
 his	
 dedication	
 to	
 improving	
 his	
 skills	
 and	
 delivering	
 excellent	
 work.	
 	
 
	
 
I	
 imagine	
 that	
 Charlie	
 will	
 find	
 great	
 success	
 in	
 whatever	
 career	
 he	
 choses	
 to	
 pursue	
 and	
 highly	
 
recommend	
 him	
 as	
 a	
 potential	
 employee.	
 I’d	
 be	
 happy	
 to	
 talk	
 more	
 about	
 Charlie	
 -­‐	
 please	
 don’t	
 
hesitate	
 to	
 contact	
 me	
 if	
 you	
 have	
 any	
 questions	
 or	
 would	
 like	
 any	
 more	
 information.	
 Thank	
 you	
 for	
 
your	
 time	
 and	
 for	
 considering	
 this	
 stellar	
 candidate.	
 	
 
	
 
Best	
 regards,	
 
	
 
	
 
Catherine	
 Armstrong	
 Soule,	
 Ph.D.	
 
Assistant	
 Professor	
 of	
 Marketing

Charlie was an excellent student in two of my courses (Integrated Marketing Communications and People & Money, which is a psychological and behavioral pricing class) during the 2015-­‐2016 school year.

He is a strong communicator verbally in class and also has strong presentation skills, far above the average student. He also has solid written communication skills. He has a rare combination of being both confident and humble. I say this because students often find my classes difficult and describe me as a “tough” grader.
