Supporting comments: "In class, her leadership style leads to greater understanding of diverse views and helps to foster a deeper intellectual interrogation of the issues—moving sensitive and controversial discussions toward more constructive dialogue and more productive analytical directions. With daily acts of character, integrity and kindness, Beza shares her passions for justice in the areas of gender as a SHARE Advocate, for race and ethnicity both domestically and abroad through Hope Initiatives in Southern Africa, UNICEF, the Black Student Union and the Paving the Way Orientation, in health through Global AIDS Initiatives, and in cross-race cross-cultural relations through the African Student Association."
