We, the undersigned, wholeheartedly believe that the Recording Arts program at Loyola Marymount University would benefit greatly from the addition of Linda Gedemer as a full-time professor as opposed to an adjunct.

Reaching this level of support has been a long and exhausting process but seeing so many people agree on Linda's value keeps me going. It is clear that we are not the only ones who see the necessity of this change for the department.

Linda Gedemer is a beloved educator who is well tuned in to the science of her craft. She is gifted in her ability to reach her students and is highly respected by the community of audio educators that are connected by the international Audio Engineering Society. John Krivit President-elect Audio Engineering Society www.aes.org
Linda has helped me define my career goals, inspired me to attend graduate school and receive my Master's, and has taught me fundamentals I am still using on a day to day basis. Linda's love for her students and for the subject are unparalleled in the RECA department.
Dear RECA students and alumni, We will definitely let Linda know what a great job she's doing and how the students feel about her. Full time positions at the university are very rare and we did not have one in RECA for the last 10 years. If one position opens up in the future, the process to fill it is very complicated for all kinds of legal reasons. However, Linda will be certainly welcome to apply. Best, Kurt, Mladen, and Rodger
If your instructor doesn't push you, how will you ever learn or improve? Linda won't coddle you and tell you your project is perfect like many instructors do, because students don't improve without constructive criticism. Linda shows that she truly cares by teaching the only difficult class in RECA, doing her best to elevate the caliber of the department and ensure her students are prepared for the "real world" after college. She doesn't take the easy route to teaching (for her or her students), but its the right way.
Linda Gedemer was hands down the best professor that I had during my time at LMU. It is rare that you find a professor so committed to the education of her students that she will go as above and beyond as Linda does to make sure those students truly understand the material. I cannot think of another professor that I had during my time at LMU that was more dedicated to the information she/he was teaching, and I believe that all professors should follow from her model of teaching. If there were ever a professor to deserve a full time position, it is her.
Linda is not only knowledgeable in what she teaches, she is also 100% committed to her students. She will meet with her students not only to discuss the material from class, but to offer guidance regarding anything the student needs help with. Linda is not only a teacher, she is also someone I look up to and really hope she gets a full time position at LMU.

I'm not a student, but have seen Linda in action with her students at school, AES, get-togethers. I can't think of anybody more in tune or caring about their students than Linda. On behalf of the students who we'll hire in the future, obtaining the education from Linda is critical.
