Letter of Reference

Requesting Letters of Reference & Form Signatures

Members of the Student Life staff are eager to assist students and alumni who need letters of reference or recommendation for other institutions, scholarship applications, graduate school, study abroad, employment, or other audiences.

To request such a letter, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students & Chief Diversity Officer's Administrative Coordinator, Amy De La Cuba, at 503-768-7110 or stlife@lclark.edu, or stop by the main floor of East Hall.

In most cases, we will need two weeks to process requests for letters of recommendation or reference. This is particularly the case if you want to meet a staff member prior to the letter being written.

If you need a Leave of Absence or Withdrawal Form signed, please be sure to fill it out completely before bringing it for the Dean's signature.

Please let us know how we can help - we are happy to be of assistance.

Note: oftentimes you will need to sign a release form in order for a staff member to write to both on- and off-campus audiences.
