Supporting comments: "On top of all her academic, musical, political, and work activity, Diane is also a zealous participant in events sponsored by the Denison Lecture Series. As a person who has committed herself to pursuing a challenging set of learning opportunities and social activities at Denison, and as a student who has served as an excellent organizer and role model for other students and faculty, Diane is an exemplar of what effective leadership means. Her leadership with the student orientation staff resulted in the most organized, well-run program we have had to date. Whether she is working as a senior interviewer, resident assistant or member of the executive board of the Denison International Student Association, Diane quietly sets an example of maturity, leadership and integrity in her daily responsibilities. I have come to know the breadth and strength of character that Diane embodies in every aspect of her daily life. She has made the most of what Denison has to offer---the chance to learn and to lead in a community rich in opportunity."
