bsa	"I worked with Ryan in my capacity as Cubmaster of Pack 3822. Ryan was our District Executive, and as such supported all of the Troops, Packs, Crews, etc. in our rather large district. Ryan was always extremely helpful and dilligent in his duties. He would go out of his way to ensure that those he served had the resources to succeed. As volunteers, our time and schedules called for flexability which Ryan provided beyond expectations. As for his interactions with the scouts, Ryan always engaged them in an age appropriate manner, yet respectfully. He helped us have fun, while at the same time making sure we were set up for success. Our pack and our district will miss him and we wish him the best of luck in future endeavors.” - Todd G. (via linkedin, 2009)

columbia college chicago	“Ryan was an exceptional student in my marketing communication class at Columbia College. We have remained in contact since he graduated. He is very capable and I am delighted to recommend him." - Jane C. (via linkedin, 2008)
	"More recently Ryan and I have come together in SIFE, an international organization active on 1600 university campuses in 42 countries. SIFE mobilizes student teams to better their communities by teaching free enterprise principles and creating economic opportunity for others. Ryan was a founding member of our Columbia SIFE team and has worked diligently to grow the team as well as execute projects in keeping with the SIFE mission. I am pleased to say that this team, organized for less than one semester won Midwest Rookie of the Year honors at the annual SIFE conference last April. This was in no small part due to his strong values, vision, diligence and team leadership." - Mike S. (via letter of recommendation, 2005)
	"Ryan is a very mature and responsible individual, and has the ability to work well with a diverse group of people, as evidenced through his group work in class. Ryan possesses a great deal of creativity and produced extremely innovative and well-planned ideas for his special event planning project. ... Ryan is one of the most positive and hard-working students that I have taught. He always attended class with a smile on his face and was very active in class discussion. Ryan is a positive influence on his peers, and faces challenges head-on." - Andrea G. (via letter of recommendation, 2005)
lewis & clark community college / wlca 89.9fm	"Shortly after Ryan Yepsen joined the radio program, it was clear that he would become the stations Business Manager. His promotional creativeness and business savvy had not been displayed by any student before Ryan, nor has it since. WLCA has always been a promotionally active radio station. However, the quality and quantity of our promotions increased significantly under Ryan’s leadership. He developed and executed a number of successful promotions for WLCA including the highly successful “V.I.P.” promotion. Ryan was able to attract several new clients to the radio station with this promotion, and a number of new listeners because of the promotion. We used this promotion again this summer, and plan to use again next summer. Ryan also displayed exceptional managerial skills by directing other students in both the promotion and sales departments. It is rare that I have the opportunity or enough humility to call a student my “promotional equal.” I usually save that kind of praise for when they have proven it as professionals. “Promotional superior” will most likely be the praise I will have for Ryan Yepsen, the professional." - Mike L..
