SUBJECT: Letter of Recommendation for Ms. Alexandra Kuhn

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to convey my strong support for Ms. Alexandra Kuhn. Ive known Alex for three years in my
capacity as Faculty Advisor for the Miami University Student UNICEF Organization. Alex and I worked closely
on a number of projects when she served as the President and Executive Board Member for the UNICEF
organization. While her service included leading regular meetings, Alex also took the initiative to develop
successful fundraisers and programs to support the needs and goals of this international organization. Through
her work in UNICEF Alex has done so much to enrich the Miami University community and to be a responsible
global citizen.
Alex demonstrates so many positive qualities that Miami University seeks to cultivate in its students, including
diligence, global awareness, compassion, and leadership. She is extremely personable and kind. She has a
genuine love of learning and commitment to helping others. She works well independently but is also a strong
team player. She has a positive attitude and strong work ethic. Mature beyond her years, Alex has consistently
and admirably demonstrated her natural proclivities to teach and lead effectively.
I am certain Alex will continue to excel throughout her life in various leadership capacities and that she will
endeavor to make the world a better place through outstanding teaching and service. I recommend her
wholeheartedly and without reservation.
Sincerely yours,
Kathryn LaFever, Ph.D.
