To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to write this letter for Mr. Chris Tackett Chris worked in the Student Center during the spring 2002 semester. He proved himself to be a conscientious, hard worker who was always on time and who took his duties seriously. I was immediately impressed by his commitment to the university. Chris was the President of the Democrat Club and a member of the Sigma Pi Fraternity. He was actively involved in community service projects and worked tirelessly to help those not as fortunate as himself. Chris had a quiet maturity with a very friendly, open demeanor. He readily took on new tasks and was able to work on his own with little direct supervision. On a personal note, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris. I found him to be a responsible young man with a great sense of humor and common sense. He was quick to help when needed and was respectful to everyone. Again, it is my pleasure to write this letter for Mr. Chris Tackett. His work in the Student Center is proof that he not only understood, but practiced, the Vincennes University motto, Learn in order to serve. I am sure Chris will be an asset in any endeavor he pursues. Sincerely,

John Livers
