“I have had the incredible privilege of knowing and working with Schuyler, and I can honestly say that she is the kind of person who leaves people better than she found them. Schuyler is incredibly hard working, creative, engaging, and caring. She has a unique ability to make people feel seen, heard, and genuinely valued. She brings a unique combination of creativity, thoroughness, hard work, and genuine care for people to everything she does. One of Schuyler’s greatest strengths, however, is her ability to challenge people while still making them feel valued. And, honestly, Schuyler is just fun to be around. I am grateful for the time she served with us and would gladly recommend her to any organization looking for a hardworking, creative, thoughtful, and people-centered leader.”

“From the very beginning, Schuyler was someone I knew I could rely on. She was consistently prepared, responsible, and willing to step in wherever she was needed, which was especially meaningful to me as I navigated teaching the course for the first time. What stands out most about Schuyler is the way she connects with others. She is approachable, kind, and genuinely invested in the people around her. As a Peer Leader, she was able to relate to first-year students in a way that made them feel comfortable asking questions and getting involved, while also carrying herself with maturity and professionalism. Schuyler is the type of student who makes a lasting impression on the faculty and staff who have the opportunity to work with her. She is dependable, thoughtful, hardworking, and an excellent communicator. I think incredibly highly of Schuyler, both as a student and as a person, and I am confident that she will bring the same level of dedication and care to every opportunity she pursues.”

“Schuyler recognizes that there is good, hard, and ugly in every day and every task. She doesn’t ignore things that require more excellence and effort, but rather embraces that and still chooses to have a joyful attitude in the midst of that. There is a certain mental fortitude that you can’t teach that Schuyler exhibits in the way she works, leads, and engages with people inside and outside of the workplace. She is very intentional with the people around her. She wants to not just care for them, but care for them in a way that is specific to each individual. Not for them to only be better workers, but to be a community and feel valued. In doing that, Schuyler naturally creates a lot of unity within a team and among people.”
