Supporting comments: "A four-year member of the Varsity Tennis team, Jim has served as its Captain and received the ITA Scholar-Athlete award for three years. He is the only men’s tennis player to receive the “Heart of the Team” Award twice. In his sophomore year, James founded a student publication called Somnambulance which features critical, sophisticated dialogue about community, national and international issues. He approaches each class with a seemingly unbounded enthusiasm which energizes the entire class. James will finish his undergraduate career having already presented three papers at scholarly conferences - an accomplishment that represents a new standard of achievement for his department."
