Dear Derek Alderman,

I hope your new year is off to a good start!  My name is Anh-Thi and I work for a non-profit called Nashville Teaching Fellows.  As Department Head & Professor of the Geography department at UT-Knoxville, I am hoping you might help us identify graduates (both grad and undergrad) majoring - or have coursework - in Geography who could be great teachers in science or math.

We know that many of your seniors are looking for jobs in a tough market, and we can provide a career with more job security, backed by a mission to help improve our most high-need public schools in the most under-served communities.

I hope that you would be willing to take 1 minute to help with any or all of the following:

1.       Forwarding the short program description below to your students graduating by June 2014.

2.       Sending to me any student names whom you feel could be a good fit for our program.

3.       Scheduling a 5-minute phone call with me to tell you more about our program, so you can be better informed when speaking with your students about our career opportunity.

I look forward to hearing from you, and many thanks in advance for your help!

Anh-Thi
