To help you with student requests for letters of recommendation, we have provided a link to a sample Faculty Reference Letter. Please refer to the Faculty Guide to Ethical and Legal Standards in Student Hiring for times when employers contact you directly requesting referrals of your "best and brightest". There are many legal risks to the academic institution in referring employers directly to select students and the National Association of Colleges & Employers Faculty Guide can assist you in providing these customers with the best resources under the law.
