Dear Admissions Committee,
I am writing toexpress my full support for Xiao Xiao, who is applying to graduate school at[name of school]. Though I am currently a visiting scholar at the University ofCalifornia, San Diego, I was 's supervisor at the VVV University School ofArchitecture and Civil Engineering. In my [number] years in academia, Xiaostands out as one of the best students I've encountered.
As the professor incharge of VVV's student union, I spent several years supervising and working closelywith Pan, who served as the union's chairperson and monitor. Pan's workincluded managing the routine affairs of his class of 76 students and planningmany student activities. Consequently, through our close contact, I gained athorough understanding of and respect for Pan's character, his strongorganizational skills, and his leadership ability. For example, in fall 1997,Xiao organized an evening party for incoming freshmen. I still vividly rememberthe party's resounding success, as well as Pan's unswerving attention todetails.
Dedication andpassion are hallmarks of Pan's character. Although the work he did as a studentleader was time'consuming and tiring, he never complained. He simply embracedhis responsibilities, and enjoyed the tasks at hand. Students acknowledged hisdevotion to his classmates repeatedly: For four years in a row, the studentbody elected him monitor and chairperson. Xiao felt great warmth not only forhis classmates, but also for society at large.
Sincerely,
Professor NAME
