Placement dossier (letters of recommendation)
Students applying for
jobs and to graduate schools and their faculty recommenders will be pleased to
hear about a useful service offered by the University: the credential file.
An office housed in the School of Education (but serving most of the University,
including the School of Music, the College and the University Graduate School)
accepts copies of recommendations for each student who sets up a file. When that
student applies for a job, he or she simply asks the office to send a copy of
the letters. This saves the trouble of tracking down individual faculty members
for each application; it also spares faculty members the burden of sending the
same letter many times, sometimes on short notice. (Of course there may be times
when an individualized letter is appropriate instead).
The office is Education Placement Services, located in Room 1000 in Wright Hall.
This link will take you to their web site, and their telephone number is (812)
856-8506. Note that they have different services, one aimed at graduate schools
and jobs in higher education, the other at positions in primary and secondary
schools. The office's staff can offer good advice about obtaining and sending
letters and can examine a student's dossier and offer suggestions about the
material in it, including confidential letters.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of this service.
