Samantha Drinkwine is one of the mostly deeply compassionate, intellectually curious, and community-minded students I've ever taught. Her work in Intercultural Communication was remarkable, and she now has a sophisticated set of lenses to bring to intercultural interactions. Samantha applies everything she learns to her daily practice, and her open heart guides her consistently towards service to others. If you are wise, you will provide her with ample opportunities to serve as a leader in your organization, and to reach others.
