"Patrick is an excellent student with a strong record of academic achievement. At the present time, he has a 3.958 GPA, ranking him in the upper echelon of students at Lebanon Valley College. In addition, Patrick is certified in German at the C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for language in reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Moreover, his GRE scores place him at the 88th percentile in verbal reasoning, 89th percentile in quantitative reasoning and the 93rd percentile in analytical reasoning. Moreover, he has mastered such major statistical concepts as levels of measurement, regression analysis/ordinary least squares, correlation analysis, measurement error, logit and probit analysis, and hypothesis testing and tests of significance. Evidence of his incredible academic record was with his acceptance into Columbia University’s Master of International Affairs program concentrating in Economic and Political Development and specializing in Africa... Mr. Patrick Maxwell is intelligent, thoughtful, caring, reflective, and keenly aware of the wider world. He operates according to a clear set of ethical principles, yet also has an open mind. He listens well, thinks critically, and speaks thoughtfully."

"As his internship supervisor, I had the privilege of mentoring Patrick, who has, with his diligent and unwavering dedication, earned the trust of the entire Board of the Directors and has proved himself worthy of being invited to continue to serve on the board as the only male director in a highly diverse group of women from across the globe. Passion to help empower people regardless of their outward appearance, creed, ability, gender or communication style does not suit everyone. Mr. Maxwell embodies empowerment whole- heartedly. While serving as an intern, he has completed more hours than required by his college, and has exceeded the hours put forward even by our most dedicated volunteers. While serving others, he finds novel ways of thinking and problem solving, and, combined with his exceptional oral and writing skills, impeccable organizational skills and calculated initiative, graduate school is a natural progression to serving humanity.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Mr. Maxwell. The organization that is lucky enough to have him work for them will be receiving not only a quality scholar, but also a quality individual."
