Supporting comments: "A discernable thread runs through much of Alicia's work: she focuses on equity issues in social institutions and organizational structures. Alicia has established a reputation for 'pitching in' in social organizations, in ways that often are not glamorous or likely to lead to public acclaim. Yet, this is the work that makes for strong communities. In serving her community, not only does Alicia bring a strong mind with valuable opinions, she is a student who values the 'after hours' of her involvement. Alicia never hesitates to keep conversations going with other students. She is not afraid to discuss difficult or sensitive issues, like institutional racism and sexism, which others are content to tiptoe around. This has made for better communication, thinking, and discovery on the part of the social communities that Alicia has joined. Denison would be a stronger, more vibrant learning community if more students and faculty exhibited this characteristic."
