Professor Larry Kamer is an Adjunct Professor in the University of San Francisco's Master of Arts in Professional Communication program and taught me in Leadership and Communication and Crisis Communication.

He can speak directly to my strategic thinking, maturity, and ability to apply communication principles beyond the classroom.
