To Whom It May Concern,
It is my pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Julie Ciaramello on behalf of Course Hero
Inc. Julie succeeded as a selected member of Course Hero's Internship and associated Professional
Development Program, which works to develop, test, and hone each intern’s business skill set in a
real world setting.
During Julie’s tenure as an intern, she excelled notably in her written and oral communications as
well as her leadership skills. Julie built a team of students that helped contribute towards Course
Hero's Knowledge Drive movement, which functions to help build a better academic resource for
Course Hero at selected schools, while also helping to benefit education abroad through our
philanthropic partnership with Books for Africa which donates books to children in Africa.
Julie displayed a deep understanding of Course Hero's short and long term goals, and was able to
align her actions, personal goals, and constructive ideas accordingly. The ability to utilize such logic,
and then to apply it in an actionable manner is impressive, and will be an asset to any organization,
team, or company that she joins in the future. For example, the main goal of our internship program
is to have students create accounts and utilize our resources. Julie was not only able to do that with
9 students, she was also able to get a few of them to free access, which requires the student to
contribute a specific high number of documents. This shows her ability to lead others, communicate
effectively, and engage interest in our product.
By successfully utilizing both my teachings and the resources that we provide for interns, Julie led a
team of 9 students to contribute over 500 unique study documents to Course Hero, while also
helping to donate 51 books to Books for Africa. Julie placed among top interns out of more than 300
Student Leaders at 400 select colleges and universities across the country.
Ultimately, Julie served as a great intern and a great leader for Course Hero and our associated
Knowledge Drive initiative. Her time with this company resulted in a stronger resource at Clemson
University, and a stronger impact on the educational landscape both here and abroad.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or comments regarding this letter of
recommendation. My contact information can be found below.
