McLennan Library Building Room MS-74, 3459 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, H3A 0C9, CA

Professors are often asked by students applying for awards and employment to write letters of reference. While time-consuming and sometimes difficult, a strong reference letter can change the outcome of an application. This workshop will help you write reference effective letters for all situations, and even handle unreasonable reference requests.

By the end of this workshop, you will:

Know the fellowship application and letter review process from the adjudicators’ perspective

Acquire the tools & strategies to draft a “memorable” versus a “good” letter

Avoid common mistakes when writing reference letters

Learn to represent 山ǿ students by writing effective reference letters for:

Excellent students applying to high-profile, elite competitions

Good students applying to general competitions

Other students in varying situations - identify when and how to say ‘no’


Writing Effective Reference Letters will help you save valuable time and effort, while helping your students (and 山ǿ!) stand out in a competitive world.
