Re: Skye Rubel
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Skye Rubel. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Rubel as an exceptional student leader with Multicultural Services and Programs at the University of Georgia since February 2013. As a unit within the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Multicultural Services and Programs (MSP) works to create an inclusive campus environment by supporting the development and affirming the overall experiences of all students, particularly multicultural students. This is accomplished in part by advising multicultural student organizations, providing social justice education and facilitating learning opportunities around intersections of identities. Skye Rubel has wholly and fully immersed herself into her UGA experience taking full advantage of the multiple opportunities available to her inside of the classroom and beyond.
As editor-in-chief of infUSion Magazine, I have seen the impact of Skye’s leadership, creativity and design prowess in action. Under her leadership, the magazine has expanded its reach significantly. This has included the addition of distribution boxes strategically located on campus, garnering an impressive online presence and engaging a talented staff that doubled from 35 to 70 in the last year alone. Additionally, in three months infUSion secured the advertising revenue projected for the full year. All of this was achieved while expanding the content coverage and caliber of the overall publication. Quite simply, Skye Rubel has taken infUSion Magazine to a higher plane in every way. The magazine’s success is directly linked to her strategic vision and organizational savvy in positioning the publication to be responsive to a dynamic and evolving landscape. With great ease, I have seen her take on many different roles and responsibilities to best meet the needs of the publication. With a firm grasp of what it means to be a servant leader, Ms. Rubel is well suited to meet the multi-faceted demands of any fast-paced professional environment.
Skye Rubel possesses exceptional collaborative spirit, work ethic and intellectual abilities. I have full faith and confidence in the meaningful contributions she can make to your organization. I have found her to be creative, thoughtful, meticulous and insightful. In fact, these characteristics are signatures of her work product. I know that she will bring that same level of energy, engagement and commitment to exceptional outcomes to her work in your environment.
Skye Rubel is in the top 3% of students that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am pleased to give her my highest recommendation and thank you in advance for your consideration to have her join your team. If you require any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,
Zoe M. Johnson, LCSW
