Re: Letter of Recommendation for Peter Brou

I would like to give my strongest possible recommendation to Peter Brou in support


of his application for this position. Peter was a top performer in my upper-level
Environmental Regulation course offered during the spring, 2015 semester at the
University of South Florida. This course presented a broad survey of several federal
and local level environmental regulations in the United States, concentrating on the
historical context of the regulation, agencies responsible for enforcement, and the
general impacts of the regulation on overarching environmental policy. Peter
showed a superior command of all topics and concepts discussed throughout the
semester, and consistently scored at the top of his class on all assignments and
exams.
In the time that I have got to know Peter, he has indeed shown impressive
analytical, critical thinking, and research skills. He brought with him to every class
diverse background-knowledge on topics of environmental health, conservation, and
sustainability. His multi-disciplinary approach to learning has undoubtedly
contributed to the keen and unique perspectives he shared during in-class
discussions and assignments. For instance, Peter choose for his final paper to write
on the history and relevance of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Rather than simply
providing a simple summary of the subject, like most of his peers did, Peter critically
reviewed the historical context of the law and demonstrated the application of its
many components on modern conservation efforts. His evaluation of this critical
piece of legislation and the professional writing style in which he presented the
material was a true tour de force. His attentiveness to this assignment, as well as
many others throughout the semester proves his commitment to not only meeting
required deadlines, but also, and more importantly, his desire to fully understand
complex and interrelated situations.
I also had the great pleasure of working with Peter outside of the classroom. Peter
selflessly volunteered several hours over the weekend working to revitalize a
community garden in order to get it ready for hosting interactive art and gardening

classes for young children. Peters performance in both his academic life and
extracurricular activity has indicated that he is indeed supremely motivated,
intellectually curious, and very conscientious. In addition, Peter is a truly
exceptional individual and a real pleasure to be around. I am exceedingly confident
that Peter would be an excellent choice for this position. He has shown repeatedly
his commitment and passion to the concepts of further education, idea sharing, and
environmental health and sustainability.
Respectfully,
