Recommendation for Patricia Cardoso

I can state my opinion, based on observations of Patricia in teaching situations and the world of education that
she is one of the finest individuals I know. Patricia shows good judgment, superior objectivity, reliability and
trustworthiness in fulfilling commitments.
Patricia has been a student of mine. In this context, I have had ample opportunity to ascertain her teaching,
research, and communication skills. Among them, I have found her to be highly intelligent. By this I do not
refer to rote memorizing or recapitulation abilities. I refer to incisive reasoning and intellectual insightfulness. I
consider Patricia to be one of the top leaders in class and one of the best students I have ever seen.
It is my opinion that she is highly qualified to teach and I feel she will be considered an outstanding asset to any
program. I recommend her without reservation and give my heartiest endorsement to Patricia Cardoso.

Sincerely,
Dr. Russell K. Owens
