Bio
Barbara Kaplan
I knew Rob when he was a student leader at SUNY Delhi. An extremely personable young man, he was a very active and valuable contributor to the campus community, serving as a student senate officer and as a member of several student clubs. Rob was selected to serve on the Provost Search Committee (quite an honor for a student) on which I served as liaison to the President's Office. I was very impressed with Rob's maturity and commitment to the process. He was an outstanding student leader at SUNY Delhi, and I'm sure any organization that he works for will be pleased with his level of dedication and hard work.

Robert was and is a delightful young man who displayed true service mentality and skills. He was aware, involved, and an excellent hands-on individual while at SUNY Delhi. I am most pleased to have the opportunity to endorse Robert. I recommend him highly and would be willing to provide any additional reference information if you so desire. Rick Golding
