I would like to take this time to give a heartfelt recommendation for Dr. Jalin Johnson, who is currently an Assistant Professor, Business & Organizational Leadership for Brandman University. I have personally worked with Jalin for over 4 years while she was a Full time Faculty at the Ontario Brandman University. Jalin has play a valuable role in the success of the campus by supporting not just the University staff and the adjunct professors, but assisting me as the Campus Director by establishing professional development training and mentoring for adjunct professors and with hiring professors, interviewing candidates and also designing avenues that have improved the institutions level of excellence. Jalin is always positive, and ready to roll up her sleeves to help the team even outside her job scope. As one of the strongest Full time Faculty Professors, Jalin has been involved in many avenues of course development with the University, which never took her away from her job assignment at the Campus. She has also went beyond her assignments to assist other Brandman University Campuses with mentoring, adjunct support and assisting with program design. I have always been impressed with Jalin’s motivation and her high level drive.

Regards,

As the Director for the Riverside campus, I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Jalin Johnson since November of 2010. This letter is to show my support for your consideration to promote her to Associate Professor.

Jalin is actively involved at the campus level, representing Brandman University and the School of Business and Professional Studies through volunteer and professional activities for and around the Ontario, Riverside and Menifee campuses. She takes the lead on all faculty meetings (Professional Development Days) and is greatly esteemed amongst her peers.

Jalin is known at the campus for her respectful demeanor as well as her teamwork mentality and is genuinely interested in the success of the campuses and our students. As an instructor in the SBPS, I have often tapped on her shoulder to help guide me through tough student questions and issues.

I would certainly recommend that Jalin be promoted to full professor – she truly deserves it.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Brandman University, Moreno Valley Campus 3550 Vine St. Ste. 200, Riverside, CA 92507 Phone: (951) 697-0111 Fax: (951) 653-5891

I am pleased to be asked to recommend my colleague Dr. Jalin Johnson for an associate professor promotion at Brandman University. In the six years that I have known Dr. Johnson, I have found her to be remarkably knowledgeable in business and professional studies, as well as brilliant and forward thinking in the arena of ethics. For example, the OCLU 350 ethics course that I have had the opportunity to teach, and one of several that Dr. Johnson has developed, creates a learning opportunity for both the instructor and student that comprises demonstrable theories that present the relevant skills for today’s leaders and ethical challenges. Dr. Johnson’s work on and leadership of the Faculty Professional Development meetings that encompass several regional campuses is not only informative and insightful, but her delightful and warm spirit generates sincere appreciation from all (from otherwise what could be a less favorable meeting). Dr. Johnson’s unsullied academic knowledge is matched only by the depth and breadth of her work on empowerment and leadership. Thus she brings great honesty and credibility to her profession, and will add both richness of mind and high teaching skills to any faculty on which she serves. On a personal level, I describe Jalin in terms of strong qualities. She is remarkably open-minded, willing to see the value in other people’s perspective, and reserves judgment. Jalin is genuine and I know I can all upon her for her honesty and mentorship which I can testify remain an endearing quality.
