The
SOAR Staff strongly encourage you to make your recommendation open, meaning that we
can communicate to the student who made the recommendation to be contacted by
SOAR. In fact, we encourage you to tell the student you are recommending them to
SOAR. This lets the student know that someone cares for them and wants them to
succeed. Often, when recommendations are made anonymously, the student is able to
deduce who made the recommendation anyway. However, if you choose to check the box
below, the SOAR Staff will not reveal or confirm your name when meeting with
the student.
