Supporting comments: "As Editor of 'The Denisonian,' Meggie was a selfless leader who always put the paper and its staff first, and led by example. Always treating others with respect, behind the scenes, she proved to have the delicacy and diplomacy necessary to supervise one's friends - keeping the staff on track, pushing them to meet component deadlines so she could meet the overall publication deadlines. She leads by setting high standards and then gently guiding and encouraging others to reach those standards. Working for Denison every summer at Reunion Weekend, Meggie was given the responsibility of being co-leader of the student workers. These students represent the face of Denison today to returning alumni. And about 1,500 alumni on campus for class reunions - many of whom had frozen Denison in their minds the day they graduated - now have first-hand experience of just how fabulous today's Denison students are. Meggie has done her part to keep the tradition of incomparable student leaders alive and well."
