Roberto,

 

I apologize for the delayed response to your B/R U diploma submission.

 

 

But congratulations on your successful completion of the B/R U training curriculum. After reviewing your Diploma Application, I’m happy to grant you all the privileges of a certified B/R U Graduate.

 

Most importantly, your B/R U graduation qualifies you for immediate review by the administrators of our exclusive Featured Columnist Program. Although I can’t guarantee that you’ll earn a position right away, you’ve demonstrated real potential as a thinker and a writer—and the quality of your B/R U submissions suggests that you’ll have every opportunity to make good on your potential at some point down the road. 

 

In that vein, I also want to formally applaud the diligence with which you approached your B/R U studies. Your submissions reflect both talent and forethought, and I hope that you got out of the learning process as much as you put into it. If you have lingering questions or concerns about any of the specific assignments, please don’t hesitate to let me know—and, beyond that, please do be sure to apply the various skills you developed during your time in the U as you continue to build your B/R portfolio. 

 

Congratulations, again, on acing your exams, and be sure to keep an eye on your email inbox for a message from our Featured Columnist Program admins within the week. In any case, I’ll be here to answer all the questions that arise as you plot your next career move.

 

Best,

 

Keith
