What could be the issue when a different recommender name is showing on my student's Common App account? For instance, Christine Henderson is showing as Morgon Williams on the student's CA Recommender section.

The recommendation is processed and sent directly to the university, and a name mismatch does not prevent sending. However, the name change is related to the Common App database. Rest assured, the recommendation has been successfully delivered. If needed, the student or counselor can contact Common App to highlight the name mismatch.
