Supporting comments: "Amanda was a major factor in the establishment of an outdoor orientation program at Denison; she played a key role in seeing that project move through the planning and implementation stages, and in working with the program on campus during its first two years; for Amanda, these are not just items for a resume; when she gets involved, she brings incredible commitment, energy, and organizational skill to her work; she is highly responsible, poised, dedicated, able to work effectively with other staff members, capable of exercising leadership as required, and highly competent in all tasks; Amanda is deeply engaged in the political life of Denison and has revealed a deep commitment to social issues beyond campus throughout her time at Denison; her work in student government, including service on the Board of Academic Integrity, shows her willingness to take a stand for a better Denison."
