RE: Letter of Support for Ms. Modesty Pernett for the Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarships Dear Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarship Review Committee, With the strongest possible support, I recommend Modesty Pernett for this year’s Georgia Engineering Foundation (GEF) Scholarship. I have only known Modesty since March 2022 when she applied for and was accepted into our prestigious first cohort of the University of Georgia College of Engineering’s First Year Scholars Program (FYSPS). Modesty is pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree at UGA and is currently enrolled in my First Year Seminar: Engineering Exploration, Leadership, and Service this semester. I have been quite impressed with Modesty! It is because of her discipline and dedication to academic excellence and her genuine personality to serve her program and others that makes her the ideal candidate for your scholarship. In my opinion, she is most deserving for selection of a GEF scholarship this year. The FYSP for which Modesty was selected supports students actively pursuing an engineering degree who demonstrate a financial need and an interest in promoting underrepresented and underserved groups in engineering. I have been impressed with Modesty and how hard-working and detail-oriented she has been through our interactions this semester. I have found her to perform exceptionally well academically. My direct observation of Modesty is that she works hard to get the job done correctly and on time while also being extremely detailed and organized. Through my interactions with Modesty, I am confident that she will have tremendous success in our program. Further, she is well-liked not only by her peers but faculty and staff within our college. During our class, Modesty is often the student that asks questions during class that generates great discussions that link the in-class technical content to more practical engineering concepts. Modesty is a fantastic candidate for GEF Scholarship and I strongly recommend her to you without reservation. If you have any additional questions, please contact me by phone at 706-542-9480 or by email at sdurham@uga.edu. Sincerely, Stephan A. Durham, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE Assistant Dean for Student Success and Outreach Professor
