Supporting comments: "This past year, Peter attended LeaderShape where he was an important role model for other students. With his easy-going personality, he is a very approachable young man who has an incredible work ethic. He is articulate and concise in conversation and has an incredible knack for weighing the viewpoints of everyone involved. In addition to his commitment to his academic work, Peter has demonstrated exceptional responsibility as a fraternity leader and Lambda Chi Alpha is a stronger organization because of his efforts. He places strong priority on the relationships he has on campus. It is clear that Peter values interconnectedness; he is one of the most inclusive students at Denison. Because of his immediate warmth and openness, Peter has been a great counselor and leader for first-year students, as well as a strong advocate for services for first-year students. Peter has definitely made Denison an easier place to negotiate for incoming students and a better place for all of us."
