Well, we’re here to help.
Here’s a quick link that will give you a good rundown:
http://www.universityaffairs.ca/how-to-ask-for-a-reference-letter.aspx
And here are some of my personal tips:
1. I found it best to bring all your work (hopefully you did well!) to them, and also to type up something simple (a paragraph or more) about yourself, what you’ve done in university, why you want to apply to your program. Not only does it jog their memory of you (if you haven’t talked to them in a while), but it also allows them to see something concrete when writing your reference letter.
2. Make sure you ask if they would be comfortable writing you a STRONG reference letter. Better that you find out now and ask another professor, then to realize later that a professor wrote you a weak reference letter.
3. Don’t be nervous! =)

When Maya Angelou came on November 3, 2011, to speak to the University of Western Ontario, she emphasized the impact of one person, no matter how unlikely, on another individual’s life.
If Maya Angelou was that person for you, if her story made an impact on you, please pass it on.
It is often easy to casually go about our daily lives and forget that our problems are not the sole problems in this world. Next time you see someone looking a little down or stressed, flash them a quick smile. You never know how much of a difference you can make.
I urge you to go everyday hoping that you can affect change.
And, if you are looking for further inspiration, Maya Angelou’s I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is an autobiographical story that will change the way you view difference in this world and see that change starts in a small way.
Be the rainbow in the clouds.
Here’s a neat trick that is both super cool and really soothing.
Use this while you’re studying late at night, writing your essays in the wee hours of the morning (except we don’t leave things to the last minute, right?), or just to relax and remind yourself that there are only 65 days until Christmas!

Why in the world would an employer hire an Arts and Humanities graduate?
Note: Registration for this event opens on October 27 at 5:00 p.m.
Arts and Humanities students often feel like their undergraduate degree alone is not sufficient preparation for entry into the workforce, and rather than thinking about career options following graduation often think only of graduate school. While some career paths may require additional education, students who have completed a BA have a lot to offer an employer, and sometimes the challenge is simply in understanding the skills one can offer an employer and how to sell those skills. In this workshop we will explore the process of identifying transferable skills and begin to understand the relevance they have in the search for post-graduation employment.
Date: Thursday, November 10, 2011
Time: 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Location: See CareerCentral for location and registration details.
In honour of a full day dedicated to giving thanks, here are my top 5 Shakespearean Thanksgiving quotes:
“I can no other answer make but thanks, And thanks, and ever thanks” (Twelfth Night 3.3.14-15).
“His effect of gravy, gravy, gravy” (Henry IV Part 2 1.2.59).
“Good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be well used” (Othello 2.3.236).
“Why, sir, for my part I say the gentleman had drunk himself out of his five senses” (The Merry Wives of Windsor 1.1.87).
“But for the stuffing,—well, we are all mortal” (Much Ado About Nothing 1.1.26).
Here’s to eating well, thanking always, and impeccable writing.
