Jackson Howe is a J.D. Candidate at Saint Louis University School of Law. They is proficient in French. Colleagues describe them as "Jackson has been a student in more than one linguistics course I've taught, but his performance was always consistently top-notch and his engagement is a model that I wish other students would follow.
One course project he completed stands out against others because it involved the design of an experiment that aimed to elicit the data required to answer questions about the messy state of affairs surrounding adverb placement in French. The survey and stimuli that he and the members of his group designed and the analyses they applied to the resulting data were all very well conceived and executed. I am happy to say that I learned something about adverbs after reading their report!", "I've taught Jackson in two classes, managed him as my teaching assistant, and supervised him as a student instructor of French and officer of the French Club. I've repeatedly been impressed by his initiative, organization, and attention to detail.
As my teaching assistant, he exceeded my expectations by applying for and receiving a grant which he used to develop a suite of new instructional resources including videos and lesson plans. It was a complex and largely self-directed project that Jackson managed efficiently with very little need for my oversight or intervention, and it was a great benefit to our students.
In his role as a student instructor, Jackson is gifted at communicating difficult concepts to his students. I've observed him deftly manage the various personalities in his class to address every student's needs and keep the group focused on effective learning. As a student, Jackson always produced clear and elegant writing, in a foreign language no less. Jackson has also been a great asset in event coordination for the French Club, cooperating well with other officers to plan and execute events that require creativity and organization.
In short, my experience has been that I can ask Jackson to do something and have confidence that it will be done right, on time, and at an exceptional level of quality.", and "I've worked with Jackson on multiple projects. On a marketing project, Jackson's prolific ability to consider big-picture business themes as the team leader was essential to determining the direction of the project. He was also very warm to other team members, improving organization morale.
On a project analyzing public charities, Jackson showed a significant aptitude for and knowledge of finance. His financial knowledge was especially significant for vetting charities where there were a lot of nuances. Having an eye for detail, as evidenced in his work as a French major, Jackson was able to research financial issues, and he was able to expose the fraudulent activity of a charity hiding more than $50,000.
In all, Jackson brings financial research, business competence, leadership, and some Southern hospitality to business teams."
