I have known Mr. Sylvia since January 1991 when he began working in the Office of International Programs at Boston University.  He continued to work in the office as a work-study student through the summer 1992, shortly after graduation from Boston University in May 1992.  He was also a participant on our internship program in Paris, France. 

Mike is an intelligent and perceptive young man.  After only a short while of being employed in our office, it was apparent to a number of staff members that he would become one of our most reliable student employees (out of approximately 15).  Mike was always eager to learn and extremely self motivated.  He was able to handle various tasks, and had a strong ability to prioritize his assignments.  He was very versatile. 

On numerous occasions Mike was needed to promote various study abroad programs.  He effectively spoke with potential study abroad students.  He was articulate when speaking in front of a larger group of students, as well as concerned parents.  Mike's enthusiasm toward his work was most welcome. 

Mike had the perseverance essential to succeed in whatever profession he chooses.  His friendly and open-minded nature made it a pleasure to work with him.  I have no hesitation in recommending him. 

If you need further information, please do not hesitated to contact me.
