To E-Portfolio Committee,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of promise for Miss Alyssa D. Humbles to the field
of Higher Education. Miss Humbles has been an invaluable member of our cohort and program
at large as well as an irreplaceable friend, supporter and co-creator for me. I have been able to
not only experience multiple courses with Miss Humbles over these past two years, but have also
had the opportunity to partner with her on a few course assignments and a semester-long project.
In a program where the curriculum, course content and classroom dialogue is largely focused on
four-year universities and institutions, Miss Humbles has remained steadfast in ensuring that the
community college perspective and experience is also considered. Leveraging her professional
experiences as a Student Success Specialist at Moraine Valley Community College, Miss
Humbles has brought unique and instrumental perspectives to classroom dialogue that would
challenge the learning of our peers and I and push us to be inclusive of higher education in its
entirety especially if our core value is social justice, which encompassed broadening our
knowledge base to include what we may not be as familiar with. As an expectation of our
program is to connect theory to practice, I am impressed with Miss Humbles resourcefulness,
diligence, and ability to find creative ways to connect the content learned in class to her
professional practices even when the content formal or informal displayed gaps in relation to
the community college.
Sincerely,
Trebby Ellington
