Supporting comments: "As a Senior Interviewer, Claire has been a valuable asset to the admissions staff. She combines a warm, caring demeanor with a high degree of perceptiveness and intelligence. As a leader in her sorority and in serving as a Head Resident, Claire demonstrated strong initiative, creativity, and a sense of purpose and direction. Perhaps nowhere were all of these skills better employed than when Claire accepted the responsibility of training a young dog, Penny, to become a pilot animal for someone who is blind. This highly successful project would not have been possible without Claire's dedication and ability to organize and involve many other students in Penny's daily care, training and socialization. In many ways, Claire's leadership will leave a lasting impact on those around her."
