Supporting comments: "One of Steve's greatest contributions to the Denison community is his insistence on open dialogue and on an informed and open-minded approach to all issues. Steve has worked to create interracial conversations about race relations on campus. His ability to engage productively in these conversations in interracial groups stems from his willingness and eagerness to see the world from various points of view; at the same time, he is not afraid to be challenged, corrected, or even changed. Steve helped to organize the teach-ins that followed September 11th and he worked with Anti-Racist Action on attempts to create a better climate for dialogue between students of different races on campus. Steve provides a model of openness; while so many people are hesitant to engage with ideas that challenge their beliefs, Steve trusts the process of open debate and discussion. Steve's work as President of the Denison Lecture Series clearly follows his efforts to provoke dialogue, to be informed, and to hear different points of view. He has shown himself to be organized, socially engaged and inquisitive, and responsive to the needs of others."
