Recommendation Letters

You can use the same recommendation letter that you used to apply to the Washington DC Program! Email us at washingtonprogram@ucdavis.edu and we can provide it to you upon request. 

If an application requires more letters of recommendation than you used to apply to the program, ask a faculty member or supervisor to write you an additional letter as soon as possible.

  • Try to ask at least three weeks in advance.
  • Provide a “resource packet” to your recommender in order to help them write their letter. This should include the position description, your cover letter, and your resume. 
  • Inform your recommender of any skills or qualities you want them to highlight in their letter.
