Supporting comments: "Colleen has an impressive ability to understand the needs of students whom she tutors. Because she is very perceptive and attuned to the struggles of others, she was selected as the first Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader at Denison. Her instincts, coupled with her skill in explaining material, make her a strong leader within both the University Tutoring Program and the Department of Mathematics. She was excellent as a mentor for 24 first-year students. Colleen has also utilized her positive personality and welcoming demeanor as a mentor for incoming Honors Program students. As president of Pi Mu Epsilon, Colleen has organized several math related functions geared at involving all students interested in mathematics. Through Colleen's example and encouragement, the number of Denison students presenting work at regional mathematics conferences greatly increased and it is felt that Colleen's presence in the department with tutoring and math related activities have contributed to the significant increase in the number of mathematics majors. Colleen's good works have made a lasting impact on a wide segment of the Denison community."
