Matts positive attitude and eagerness to learn complex workflows was a vital part of his success during his employment. Matt showed he has the capability to understand and put into practice newly learned tasks and contribute to a teams efforts. " and "It was a privilege to work with Matthew Meuser in the Office of Community Service as one of the co-directors of Big Buddies, a child mentoring program at the University of Redlands. Matthew was a wonderful organizer for weekly activities for children and college-age mentors in the program. This was no easy task; in fact it took great patience and organizational skills to pull the program together. At the end of each Big Buddies program, it was always successful. Matthew was a team-player with the other student directors; he dealt effectively and tactfully with parents of the children, and for many years in the program, he was also a great mentor and role model. He assisted with student background checks, training sessions, in-services, reflections, weekly activities, homework assistance, field trips and fundraising. Our program was enhanced because of his wonderful comradery with others and his respect for the children (our “little buddies”) in the program. His time with our office was tremendously successful and we’ve missed him since he graduated. "
