I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Alex Fiks for employment in the area of student leadership. I have known Alex for only the short time that he has been working with our student activities office. During that time he has displayed outstanding leadership and organizational skills that have assisted in many of our programs. It is my judgment that Alex is versatile, competent, and possesses the skills needed to succeed in this area of expertise. As a Graduate Intern from EMU, he was instrumental in the success the student newspaper getting on the stands on time, every time during the winter semester. He also assisted in the coordination of the annual Multi-Cultural Fair. Alex's leadership, supervisory, and interpersonal skills are of the highest quality. Alex Fiks has my highest recommendation. If you have any questions on this reference, please call me at 734-462-4422 or email tstowell@schoolcraft.edu.
