I highly recommend him to your organization for the Coordinator position. I have known Christopher for the past eight months as he has been working in the Office of Residential Life as the transitional living area’s Area Coordinator. As I have been a part of his student staff, I have had an opportunity to observe his energetic and outgoing personality. We can always count on him to bring energy and positivity into the office. Christopher is a hard worker and truly cares about his residents. As long as I have known Christopher, I have seen time and time again how willing he is to drop everything to help students with a variety of housing issues. Christopher has much experience with planning events as well as extensive knowledge of sports. Christopher used to help coach lacrosse at Augustana College and I believe he has learned a lot from the time commitments and challenges that being an assistant coach entailed and has reciprocated those skills into his Area Coordinator job performance. I believe Christopher would be an asset to any organization. Christopher is an outstanding Area Coordinator in all respects. He has proven that through hard work, follow though, and team work, he can accomplish a variety of tasks in a courteous and timely manner. Outside of work, I know that Christopher is a very family oriented person and I know it is important for him to be closer to his family. This opportunity is perfect for him in order to be closer to his family while doing something he loves. Christopher is well equipped to grow from challenges that he is presented with. His patience, strong people’s skills, and constant positivity prepare him quite well for the coordinator position. I strongly endorse making Christopher Davis a member of your team.

For the last 9 years I have been faculty in the College of Education at Bowling Green State University teaching technology integration classes to education majors. Chris worked as my graduate assistant for three semesters. During that time Chris was in graduate school and also completed his methods semester and student teaching. All of these experiences helped Chris to develop skills essential for a good teacher. When Chris first started working for me he observed my classes, assisted students with their technology projects and did some grading. As time passed, Chris would observe me teaching and then teach a portion of the same lesson to the next class. Last fall I gave him the responsibility of teaching each class how to create a blog, creating a handout to go with the lesson and grading their finished products. Chris was successful and was then given the responsibility to do the same for a Wiki. The students responded well to his instruction. Chris also learned to use, and assist students with, many new technologies including interactive whiteboards, iPod Touches, AlphaSmarts, digital cameras, scanners, a document camera, and a variety of computer applications. Chris was organized and managed well the duties given to him. If more information is needed, my contact information is listed below. Sincerely, Patricia Ritchey Lecturer

Anyone who has the pleasure of coming in contact with Chris will leave his presence with a big smile. Chris was the director of our lacrosse program this summer while simultaneously being a bunk counselor.
