TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr. JORGE TALAVERA, who graduated in 2009 with a Master's degree in Civil Engineering at San Diego State University, with emphasis is Environmental Engineering.

Jorge was a student of my class CIV E 633 Environmental Hydrology in the Fall of 2008. He performed excellent work, earning an A in the class, and rating on the top 5%. His analytical ability is outstanding, which uniquely qualifies him to tackle complex problems in environmental, civil, and related chemical engineering.

Sincerely yours,

Victor M. Ponce
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
