To Whom It May Concern:

It is my privilege to write a letter of reference for Emily Johnson. Emily was a student in my social work
practice class during the 2014-15 school year. She is articulate and eager to learn. Emily did very well
academically. She grew throughout the year demonstrating the social work skills and knowledge she was
learning in practice.
Emily is warm and empathetic. She is well liked by her peers. Emily presents herself as a mature,
independent and confident young woman. I believe she has a strong work ethic and is dedicated to serving
those who are in need.
I highly recommend Emily Johnson for acceptance to the Masters of Social Work program at Wayne State
university
Please contact me for any further information.
Sincerely,
