Subject: Letter of Recommendation for Marwa Hammoud
Dear MSW Admissions Committee:
I am very happy to write a letter of recommendation for Ms. Marwa Hammoud, a BSW student in the
School of Social Work at Wayne State University. Marwa has expressed a strong interest in pursuing a
MSW degree at Wayne State University, and asked me for a letter of recommendation to accompany her
application. I agreed to do so without any reservations. I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Social
Work at Wayne State University. As her former instructor, I can provide an assessment of whether she is
qualified for your MSW program.
Marwa was in my SW3410: Social Work Values and Ethics class during winter of 2015. In my class,
she more than demonstrated excellence as demonstrated by her assignments which were completed
promptly with great results. She is a hard worker and managed to produce highest quality work, and I
really appreciated all her effort. She received an A average in my class. This is a strong evidence of her
likelihood of success in a graduate program, and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that she will
complete her MSW requirements with outstanding results.
She expressed interest in pursuing her MSW in Social Work at Wayne State, with focus on elderly. She
expressed a strong desire to make a significant impact on the lives of elderly residents in Detroit. I am
highly confident that Marwa will be a tremendous asset to your MSW program and to the social work
profession. Therefore, I strongly urge you to accept her application. Please feel free to contact me if you
would like to request more information about Marwa. I can be best reached by e-mail at
fl4684@wayne.edu. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Jun Sung Hong, Ph.D.
