I am writing to you to share my thoughts on Kjirsten Kennedys professional promise as she enters the world of student affairs. I supervised Kjirsten during her summer internship with Central Washington University Des Moines Center. Kjirsten completed a total of 200 hours from June 2014 to September 2014. Kjirsten is an amazing leader who puts students first, applies student development theory to her practice, and creates inclusive environments where everyone can feel welcomed. Kjirsten understands the importance of building relationships to increase collaboration. Kjirsten has made so many contributions to our office and all of the University on the Westside. The primary objective of her internship was to plan, develop, facilitate and assess our annual leadership retreat for our student leaders. Kjirsten balanced many responsibilities such as logistics development, connecting with outside partners, troubleshooting challenging situations, developing a quarter long leadership curriculum for future staff to use with the student leaders, and building trust with student leaders in a short amount of time. Through experience Kjirsten has learned how to engage student leaders in their leadership development and using their past experiences to inform their future practice. Kjirsten was able to accomplish this with grace, pose, and success. She holds strong communication skills, practices effective time management, leads with her heart, and is very approachable to diverse populations. There are three areas where Kjirsten shows great promise for her future in student affairs. The first area is her skill set to be an effective planner. Kjirsten has strong organization skills, which assist her in developing big picture and detail plans. The second area is her awareness of social justice concepts and how to implement social justice activism effectively. Kjirsten is knowledgeable of diverse populations, and she actively wants to learn more. Kjirsten creates experiences for herself and uses her learning within the means of her job. The third area is her ability to balance challenge and support within herself, as well as the students and staff she works with. Kjirsten knows when to ask for help and seeks feedback to make improvements to her work. Kjirsten can work independently as well as collaborate with diverse populations. Kjirsten has been an amazing student affairs professional to work with and I am excited for her future. She has enhanced her skill set and has made a tremendous difference on-campus. I appreciate her hard work and her drive to constantly find meaning in her internship experiences. Thank you for your time and energy and best of luck in your future in higher education.
