REACH Program

Dear Sirs:

This letter is written on behalf of Aleksandr Gostomelskiy, who is applying to your program.

Alex has been a student in three of my classes, including Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Open-channel hydraulics. He is a very dedicated student, and consistently rates at the top 5% of his peers. He has impressed me with his ability to work under pressure, and to perform above par in all endeavors.

I recommend Alex very highly for this award.

Sincerely yours,

Victor M. Ponce
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
