Letter Writing Tips

• Keep it short because it is more likely to be read

• Explain your relationship to the school and/or what your current job is

• Don't merely repeat the talking points; Tell your individual story. Were you a Gates Scholar? A GLISA graduate? A distance student? Tell them how you impact your community as a graduate of SIRLS

• Personal attacks are not appropriate or helpful

• Copy your letters to the press!

• Send us a copy too
