Supporting comments: "Supremely bright and highly engaged both in and out of the classroom, pushing us to be a more sustainable institution and leading our community in the creation and recent adoption of the new Code of Academic Integrity, completing an outstanding senior research project in six months - it doesn’t seem possible that one person could accomplish so much and do it in a way that is so collaborative, congenial, mature, articulate, sensitive, and highly aware of the local context. Insatiably curious and exceptionally articulate, she motivates everyone who gets anywhere near her, understands the difficult dynamic of organizations, knows when to take on a role for herself and when to include others, embodies the idea of integrity, and is an outstanding mentor to the next generation of leaders ."
