I am happy to write a letter for students that meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Took a class or multiple classes with me and personally engaged with me 

  • Obtained an A or A- in my course(s)

  • Participated as my research assistant or research assistant for the Hispanic Research Center, or one of the previous centers I directed

  • Worked directly with me on a research project or honor’s thesis

  • Worked with me on research or teaching related to their graduate education

If you request a letter, please give me at least two weeks notice before the deadline. Also, please send me an email at stella.rouse@asu.edu reminding me (about a week from the deadline) if I have not submitted a letter.

If you are unsure about whether I would be an appropriate letter writer for you or you would like to discuss how you should approach selecting letter writers, please feel free to email me at stella.rouse@asu.edu.
