Brag Sheet

The Brag Sheet is the equivalent of a personal portfolio or resume. Utilize the Brag Sheet to
give detailed information about yourself in order to prepare a letter of recommendation.
Please fill out the form completely and with as much detail as possible (formatting it as you
see fit; responses need not be made on the lines). The information on this form will be used
to write your letter of recommendation so it needs to be accurate and thorough. Give your
recommender at least two weeks notice to prepare your letter of recommendation. Its best to
type and save your Brag Sheet digitally so you may email it to prospective recommenders.
