Supporting comments: "With exceptional leadership abilities, genuine concern for others, and high level of personal integrity, Sarah has made a tremendous and lasting impact at Denison and in the surrounding communities. She is a leader of outstanding merit, one who leads by example, and clearly is appreciated and recognized by her peers as they elected her to the office of DCA president for two consecutive years. Mature, insightful, professional and articulate, she focused her time as DCA President on collaborating with other campus organizations, improving communication and creating large-scale events that impacted many populations. Co-founder and major contributor to Sustained Dialog, and a group facilitator for each of the two years that DU Lead has existed, Sarah’s selfless leadership has made Denison better for all of us."
