"I first met Morgan as a sophomore in an ethics class I teach. From moment one, she was on my radar as a student with a philosophical knack. She brought an edge and a curiosity that drive some of our best liberal arts-oriented students. During the next two years, Morgan did deep dives into the disciplines of philosophy and history, and now routinely grapples with controversies that arise in the history of ideas. Morgan works for the betterment of that which is, and will continue to hold those with whom she interacts accountable to the same high standards of human decency that she holds for herself."
