Supporting comments: "One distinguishing factor about Yakhin is that, with his emergence, came a great deal of specificity, with close attention paid to the area of Black Enterprise and Entrepreneurialship; Yakhin has pursued various components of entrepreneurialship with a relentless passion; he is a frequent visitor to my office with a new idea: bringing a number of speakers to campus, holding forums, and even influencing this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Planning Committee to hold a discussion on the topic as part of its university-wide celebration; there are but a few students who successfully make their mark on an institution in the way in which Yakhin has; he is committed to diversifying Denison's campus, and from the time he arrived on campus his as a first-year student, he has worked hard to help make that happen."
