Supporting comments: "As editor-in-chief of the Denisonian, Lachelle took on a great responsibility: representing campus views as fairly as possible, mentoring new staff members, interviewing faculty and administrators, and representing Denison to off-campus readers. The Denisonian made significant progress in coverage and quality during her tenure with Lachelle providing exceptional leadership. Lachelle's stewardship in the past year has positioned The Denisonian for long-term excellence in covering the news events of the Denison community. Her efforts have raised the bar for journalist excellence on campus and students' leadership in general. Lachelle's quiet, effective leadership style is one that should be held as an example for any campus person with such a charge. At the same time, in the Denison Writing Center, Lachelle's leadership abilities have grown in the last four years. She has given two presentations at professional conferences. She has been an excellent role model for other Writing Center consultants. Lachelle's blossoming into leadership defines "leadership" as an ethical undertaking that requires an understanding of the importance of teamwork and togetherness."
