Supporting comments: "David is currently the President of Mortar Board, a community service honorary for seniors, where he has helped to organize activities such as the Funky Chicken contest to benefit a local social service agency and the Big Red Cares Holiday Gift-Drive Program; Current Co-Chair of the DCA Companions program and a member for the past three years, David helps to bring local middle schoolers to Denison every week to show them that college is a viable option for them; he is an accomplished community builder and peer helper, especially with regard to assisting students with their emotional concerns; there are very few activities at Denison with which he has just "been involved," instead he is someone who is frequently looking for ways to make an activity better, either by expanding upon an existing program or by offering to serve a group in a leadership capacity; when a need is identified, David does not complain about it, but instead does something about it; he has always worked to improve Denison and the surrounding community."
