Bio
Rebecca Oliphant, Ph.D.
I am writing a recommendation for Ward Klein. Ward is inquisitive and wants to explore more than just the surface material. He will spend time learning above what is expected. He is also willing to take responsibility if something does not turn out as planned. Ward has also traveled internationally and brings the sense of wonder required to do more than just visit the "tourist" spots. Ward will bring to work and school more than what is expected. He will also seek out information if he feels he either does not understand or would like additional information concerning a topic.
Darshak Patel
I have know Ward for a period of 2 years. I first met him in my Principles of MicroEconomics class. Ward is hard working, eager to learn, and curious about various topics. His curiosity inspires his passion to research deeply into those topics and enhance his learning. If he continues to devote his time to his passions, success will eventually follow.
