To the potential employer of Mary Kelly:

Mary Kelly is a May 2015 Mass Communication graduate of Winona State University. She is bright,
friendly, helpful and I believe she can be of value to a firm with work in advertising, public realtions and
integrated strategic communication fields.
Mary was a student in several classes I teach in the Mass Communication department at Winona State
University. She was well-liked by fellow students and brought a helpful, collegial attitude to class. She
immersed herself in the class content and excelled in class presentations and written projects.
In class, Mary stayed involved is class discussion with thoughtfulness. She worked well in small group
settings and and encouraged all group members to share their input.
I have found Mary to be dedicated, confident, out-going and goal-oriented. Mary has good written and
verbal communication skills and is adept at finding a variety of ways to effectively communicate with
multiple audiences.
I believe Mary Kelly is ready for a challenging internship or professional career position. Im confident
she can excel as a collaborative, effective employee.
If you have questions or require further information about Mary or her abilities, please feel free to call
me at 507-457-5239.
Sincerely,

Tom Grier, Ed.D.
