第五部分:写推荐信
Hosted by the Health Professionals Advising Committee
Join a session focused on writing letters of recommendation hosted by the current Health Professions Advising Committee (Jane Byrnes, Eryn墨菲, 萨拉·汉森, 和艾米·科胡特). This session will cover what makes an excellent letter of recommendation, as well as strategies for managing lots of requests, and for gathering the most useful information from the students we write for.
