Supporting comments: "A strong leader behind the scenes as well as in her official roles, Kenyari leads with poise and confidence. She contributes sensitively within the multicultural classroom where her thoughtful and measured perspective helps ease tensions emerging with discussion around heated topics. And, she is able to accomplish this without compromising her honesty. Her ability to effectively and calmly stand her ground will serve her well in her advocacy for oppressed populations. Whether it is with either of her two major academic departments, with Greek life, or her work with August-O or the Black Student Union, Kenyari always is there when needed."
