Obtain Strong Letters of Recommendation

If you are considering graduate school or are applying for jobs, it is important that you obtain positive recommendations from professors who know you well. Professors can speak about your academic achievements and interests in a letter of recommendation.

Building positive relationships with your professors is a great way to get to know them and develop a professional network. We always recommend that students meet with their professors during office hours to ask questions about course material and learn more about the subjects they teach. This also gives professors the opportunity to learn about your career and academic interests.

If you are unsure of where to start with the letter of recommendation process, you can schedule an appointment with the Liberal Arts Career Enrichment Network or Penn State Career Services.
