6. To Whom It May Concern: February 12, 2013
Please accept this letter as my personal letter of recommendation for Nick Schummer.
As the Director of the Alden B. Dow Center for Creativity & Enterprise, Nick currently works under
my direction to advance campus initiatives in entrepreneurship, family enterprise, creativity &
innovation and new business development. Nick works as part of a student team of six individuals
who cover the administration of everything from planning and actualizing events to handling all
communication and public relations for the ABDCCE.
As a part of the team, Nick is in charge of event planning, entrepreneurial finance
professional guest panels, and research related to family enterprise and entrepreneurship. He
recently has assisted me in developing a model for a student mock investment portfolio competition
and has been an integral part of the development of the Build the Business competition.
As I have worked with him, I am convinced that Nick is an outstanding performer. The most
revealing qualities that I can point out are the following:
Nick has great organizational skills. He is able to take complex direction, often where the
process has yet to be developed completely and run with it. He is flexible, open to change
and embraces challenges.
Nick is a person who asks good questions, is a great communicator and follows up
consistently. He is friendly, engaging and has a great sense of humor, yet is professional
and inclined to assume serious commitment and leadership with appointed objectives.
Sincerely,
Georgia A. Abbott, MBA
Director, The Alden B. Dow Center for Creativity & Enterprise
Northwood University
