Summer 2009 Research Internships in
Social, Developmental, Health, and Cognitive Neuroscience Psychology
June 1 through August 8, 2009

Application Deadline: March 15, 2009

The student who has asked for a letter of recommendation is an applicant to the summer REU program at Northern Arizona University. Since we will already have the relevant transcripts, your input is most helpful in providing specific examples in the following non-cognitive areas:

  1. The time and circumstances under which you have known the student
  2. Exceptional strengths of the applicant
  3. The applicant's emotional maturity
  4. The applicant's ability to get along with peers and faculty
  5. Extenuating circumstances that need to be taken into account in interpreting this applicant's grades
  6. Does learning per se seem to interest the applicant, and does he/she perform up to his/her potential
  7. Particular characteristics you have observed which you feel would interfere with or enhance a summer research internship.
***Please email the letter of recommendation and then follow-up with an official letter in the mail.***
