In group projects with others she always demonstrated a genuine eagerness to learn, resourcefulness and responsibility to independently complete her 'piece' of the project. Amanda would be an asset to any organization and I would have no problem giving her my highest recommendation." and "I have had the chance to work with Amanda as a work-study supervisor and member of WPI’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Her outstanding professional capabilities and communication skills coupled with enthusiasm and motivation for learning will be of asset to any employer. I came to know Amanda in spring 2010, when our department hired her as a laboratory assistant. Amanda impressed me in her effort to complete assignments and to take on additional projects. She was attentive to detail and worked well with our lab manager, faculty, and other work-study students. Based on her work performance in the lab and her outgoing personality, I encouraged Amanda to take the vacant student worker position in the main office. She took on the new responsibility with enthusiasm and very little direction from me, thus freeing me to concentrate on other office matters. In addition to her strong worth ethic and involvement with professional organizations, Amanda exhibits excellence in academics and in the WPI campus community. She holds leadership positions in her sorority and is an active member of the Student Advisory Council. Despite her busy schedule, she also makes time for volunteerism and community service for organizations such as the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. Her varied and extensive list of activities attests to her organizational skills while keeping up with social, professional, and academic endeavors. In summary, Amanda Bowden is a successful, dedicated, and well-rounded student; she receives my highest recommendation."
