Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean,
My name is Jamie Mendel, and I am a third-year Bachelor of Arts Honors student majoring in Health Studies and minoring in Sociology. I am appealing to take third-year courses away on a letter of permission through another university for the winter 2023 semester.
I began researching independent study abroad programs this past summer because I believe it is the perfect opportunity for me to achieve academic and personal growth. I understand that this experience will pose new challenges, yet, my greatest passion has always been traveling to new places and overcoming challenges. This opportunity will allow me to leave my comfort zone, persevere in the face of unique challenges and simultaneously improve on both an individual and academic level.
Upon conducting intensive research and considering all my options, I concluded that the American University of Paris would be the best fit for me. The school offers courses that align with my degree plan; therefore, I would be able to meet my unique degree requirements and graduate on time come the fourth year. I am confident in my ability to accomplish these goals and more.
My Undergraduate Chair, Ms. Van der Meulen, supports my request to take upper-year courses required for my degree at the American University of Paris in Paris, France.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this appeal.
Sincerely,
Jamie Mendel (20243429)
