Masters Program Recommendation Letter

Dear {Name}:

It is with unequivocal enthusiasm that I recommend __________________ for your master's program in social work. I have been ____________'s advisor for _________ terms, and I have rarely met an individual with as much compassion and uncompromising determination.

_______________ is a brilliant student: he is quick and eager to participate in group discussions and passionate about solving thorny community problems. His essays are thoughtful and well-researched, and he has a deep knowledge of the internal and external factors in numerous case studies.

I have supervised _____________ in a myriad of cases with individuals and families experiencing __________________ through the ___________ program. The clients in these programs are not always at their best; they are survivors of homelessness, addiction, domestic violence and sexual assault. In situations that often involve high emotions, anger, and frustration, _____________ has shown remarkable resilience and an unflappable calm. He is firm with his boundaries but kind and thorough in getting people the assistance they need.

The field of social work is one that experiences a heavy burn-out rate due to the demands and the stress. I have no doubt that ______________ is of the mindset and ambition to weather such impediments and succeed in your program-both in and out of the lecture hall.

Sincerely,

{Sender}
