Proper Etiquette for Thanking LOR Writers
I looked through the memories, tags and recent posts and didn't find anything that answers my question so here goes:
I just turned in my application this week for the teaching credential program I am applying to and wanted to thank my reccommenders for their support and writing my letters. I know that a thank you note(card, etc) is appropriate, but I was also thinking of getting them each a gift. Is this ethical? Proper etiquette? or will it seem inappropriate? The people who reccommended me I have known for years and 2 of them are also friends, the third is a acquaintance. They all work at the university I just graduated from which is the same one I applied to. I won't be working with any of them during my graduate studies as one is from a different department, another my academic/financial aide counselor and the other a former boss.
I of course was not considering a gift card or anything with a definitive monetary value.
Any advice, as well as links to published (officially) information or reccomendations of books, articles, etc where I can find out information regarding this are appreciated.
Danke in advance.
