Grant Mapier has been a terrific student while at UCF. I am certain he has the intelligence and maturity to be a success in the media industry. He is the kind of bright, creative, focused, and self-motivated person who will thrive in experiential learning opportunities. I expect Grant to learn a great deal while making a positive contribution to any media company he works with. |

Grant has consistently exhibited an admirable dedication and focus to his studies. There was never any concern with his responsibilities to the course or the production projects in which he was enrolled. Neither was there ever a concern with his ability to work within a group to accomplish joint objectives. Grant dedicates himself to not only his studies and academic success evident in his admirable GPA, but to the acquisition of the skills necessary to the field of television production which he pursues. |

Grant was in my studio production class and proved to be creative, hard-working, and reliable for all production projects. I knew I could count on Grant to complete all assignments on time, which required heavy knowledge of production equipment and ability to work as part of a production team. He can successfully manage all roles of production, from audio to camera operation and took a leadership role as director. I am confident he would be able to complete all tasks required of him, and meet any deadlines. He was comfortable and confident as a director and knows how to manage his productions. |

"Grant is tremendously creative and inventive! I personally have worked on several VBS slide shows with him. He was able to take our still photos and turn them into an entertaining video set to our VBS theme music. He was easy to work with and was always able to complete the project within a tight time frame. I was very grateful to have him on our team and could not have done it without him!" |
