Her academic record demonstrates her excellent scholarship; as a College of Liberal Arts Honors student, Rachel did not hesitate to explore various areas of study to satisfy her curiosity, and she sought out coursework that would challenge and broaden her perspectives. Rachel further expanded her horizons through her active membership in the Student English Association where her leadership efforts revitalized a declining organization. She helped with marketing the club and organizing engaging programs for the meetings. Membership rose and the organization became a valuable resource for English majors on campus. However, her greatest accomplishment was her management of the undergraduate literary magazine, The Bell Tower. She initiated financing through grant writing and found inventive ways to publicize the publication. She was instrumental in encouraging literary submissions from students, formed committees to read and choose selections, and helped format the final product.Rachel’s leadership and collaborative ability was an asset to the running of our office as well. As a student worker who became a full-time employee, she showed herself to be flexible, innovative, and cooperative.
