Colleagues describe him as "It is with great pleasure I write this letter of recommendation for Michael Handley. I met Michael for over two years ago, during which time I was a David Douglas high school student and one of the youth in the WIA program and I have had numerous opportunities to know him as a WIA instructor, mentor and community leader. Michael Handley is an encouraging, inspiring and caring mentor I have known closely. I admire his strong ability to work with diverse youth in WIA program and helping many refugee and immigrant young people getting into a higher education. He is passionate about what he does- working with youth individually to develop their leadership skills and supporting them to succeed in high school and beyond. At all times I have found Michael Handley to be hard working, conscientious and courteous at his work. I remembered the time when I was in WIA class, he was an instructor who always encourages and motivates students. Lot of time refugee and immigrant youth needs those kind of courageous words to succeed and that’s actually what Michael is skillful of. I remember him working with youth at IRCO even after 5 pm on Friday night. I have seen him attending Bhutanese festival and interacting with our parents too. He is always someone I look up to be because he inspires many youth to work hard and help refugee and immigrant community. Because of Michael’s leadership skills, I would highly recommend him for any higher position he is going to take on. Your Faithfully, Sumitra Chhetri Oregon State University student Political Science Major" and "Michael has a broad knowledge base and he is superbly skilled at using his knowledge not just to educate but to challenge and delight clients, students, and colleagues. He is one of those rare people who is both methodical and quick, so he multitasks brilliantly and is always comfortably on top of multiple demanding projects. He is compassionate, cheerful, charming, and inquisitive. These characteristics in combination with his clear, direct communication style and his neutral stance towards petty politics makes him perfectly at home (and highly valuable) in an intensely diverse work environment."
