"I have known Mr. Ukaegbu since 2003 as a member of the local
chapter of IMA, a professional organization where he served as
Director of Communications and as a tutor/trainer in computer
science seminars held by the chapter. He has become a good
friend and superb to work with. He is creative, proactive,
sophisticated, and highly experienced in many areas, resourceful,
a man of integrity."

"As a faculty member of the Computer Information Systems
Department at Davenport University, I have had Ukaegbu as a
student in three of my classes. He is very enthusiastic with regard
to learning about Microsoft Operating Systems and Computer
Networking. Ukaegbu participates well in classroom discussion,
but his favorite part of class appears to be the hands-on
component. I know he is strongly motivated to work in the fields of
computer networking and systems development."

"I have known Ukaegbu for over 30 years and have followed with
pleasure his development and maturation to that of a young man
with outstanding ability and personality. Mr. Ukaegbu is versatile,
yet focused with intellectual ability that should place hime in the
top 5 % of most cohorts of excellent students. His quantitative,
aptitude and logic ability reasoning are superior. Mr. Ukaegbu
possesses excellent computer (and its ancillary dexterity and
skills. He designed the Igbere Progressive Association website
(www.ipaiinc.org) with composite creativity that visually reflects the
organization's cultural identity and image. I believe that he has
great dedication to a career in computer and technology. Mr.
Ukaegbu is a bright, mature, articulate and personable young
man who works with optimal collegial spirit and respect for
colleagues."

"Mr. Ukaegbu Ukaegbu was a student in my "Teaching
Secondary Reading" lecture and methods course and my
"Teaching Practice Seminar" in spring 2009. In both classes,
Ukaegbu showed himself to be experienced and knowledgeable
candidate, and a well-liked leader among his colleagues. His
analysis and planning for instruction were confident. His written
work was skillful and comprehensive. According to his Host
Teacher, his science and math knowledge were deep and
comprehensive. In addition to his leadership in the credential
program, Mr. Ukaegbu was active in his local community as well
as among his immigrant community. Mr. Ukaegbu is multilingual
and multicultural himself and so sensitive to the challenges of
immigrant students. At the same time, perhaps because of his
success, he maintains the highest performance expectation for
his students and respects them by challenging them."

"Mr. Ukaegbu has been known to me both personally and
professionally for over five years. I have had the opportunity of
observing, and as a result, am able to attest to the tenacity,
hardwork and scholarship of Mr. Ukaegbu. He not only succeed
in imparting mathematical and science skills to his students and
wards, but also inculcate, by example, humane and benevolent
ideas and mannerism to those he offers counsel and care. I can
state that from personal knowledge, information and belief that
Mr. Ukaegbu has been in the Computing and Business Services
Consulting all through the period of time I have known him. This
area engages him in a variety of training, servicing and
maintenance of computer, and software analysis, design and
development, including, but not limited to mathematical and
scientific modeling, data analysis and financial graphing and
graphic designs to mention but a few."

"Mr. Ukaegbu already demonstrated many skills and techniques
of a successful teacher. He is very enthusiastic about his
teaching. I can tell he really enjoys teaching and has affinity for
the subject of Physics. He has successfully motivated his students
to learn the subject because they have been caught up in his
energy and enthusiasm. Mr. Ukaegbu has excellent class
management skills. His lessons are well planned and thought out
both on long term and daily basis. He makes sure that his
students are engaged in the lesson and monitors their progress
by asking them questions to check for understanding. Mr.
Ukaegbu has very strong knowledge base in physics and
mathematics. When answering student questions, he can
immediately come up with the correct formula and show students
how the problem can be solved. He also has a strong background
in computers and used activities where students make graphs and
data tables using a spreadsheet."

"Ukaegbu student-taught at Banning High School during the fall
of 2009 semester. During this time I supervised one period of
Physics AB, which he taught. Mr. Ukaegbu is an intelligent and
motivated individual with strong content knowledge. He has
demonstrated that he is capable of managing a Physics class. He
maintains a professional manner and appearance, and sets a
positive example for his students. He takes the time to ensure that
students understand him, slowing down and repeating himself as
necessary, and makes an effort to learn about and appreciate his
students' culture and language. Mr. Ukaegbu is receptive to
suggestions and consistently works to improve as an educator.
He has made experiential learning a priority, working to include
laboratory activities as an integral part of his instructional
program. His open mindedness should enable him to continue to
develop as an educator."
