I strongly recommend Brian as a person of outstanding intellect, character, and people skills. He was my student in a literature class and a business writing class, and I served as academic advisor to the student newspaper staff, on which Brian led the business operations. His performance in my classroom and on the student newspaper staff indicate that he would be a wonderful addition to any employer's professional team.
