Recommendation Form Submission

Thank you for taking the time to support an applicant for the Student Orientation Undergraduate Leader (SOUL) position at Miami University by completing a 2019 SOUL Recommendation Form.

“SOUL” is our acronym for Student Orientation Undergraduate Leader. The SOUL staff is made up of 24 undergraduate students who are an extremely important part of summer orientation. SOULs are informed, resourceful guides who assist new students and families throughout the orientation program. They lead small groups of students during the orientation program, and serve as ambassadors to welcome new students to Miami. Before submitting a letter on behalf of a student, you may wish to review the SOUL position description.

Before submitting your letter of reference, please have the student's Miami University UniqueID (e.g. smithab) available. You will be asked to asses the SOUL candidate in the following areas:

  • attitude
  • authenticity
  • relationship building
  • integrity, professionalism, and maturity

Please observe the following submission due dates for the 2019 SOUL application process:

  • December 1, 2018 (priority application submission deadline)
  • January 8, 2019 (final application submission deadline)
