Supporting comments: "Elizabeth is known among faculty, staff, and students on campus for her positive outlook and attitude on life. She has the ability to surmount difficulties with grace and to treat everyone she encounters with respect and warmth. In class, she graciously helped bridge the differences in knowledge levels as well as other differences (e.g. race, gender, ethnicity) among students. I believe this ability to build bridges between disparate groups is characteristic of Elizabeth's leadership. She is accepted by many groups and feels at home as a leader in multiple venues. In addition, when campus administrators need a reliable student to call on for help with campus events and programs, Elizabeth is at the top of their list. She can be counted on for dedicated service whether it is behind the scenes or center stage. Her peers also know that she can seamlessly perform either role, and will graciously fill the needed role with extraordinary competence and unfailing commitment. Elizabeth is an outstanding student as well as an unassuming leader who adapts her leadership style and contributions to meet the needs of her community."
