Supporting comments: "While serving as president of the Denison Community Association and Chair of Make a Difference Day, Caitlin has been active on five DCA committees including her remarkable work as Chair of the New Beginnings Committee for the past for three years. So consistent, strong, and sincere are her commitments to New Beginnings that she has made it the focus of her year-long senior research in sociology/ anthropology. At the personal level, her work has helped both mothers and children at New Beginnings and at the same time has helped to raise awareness of the issue of domestic violence for all of us at Denison."
