Ashley Lucas
We honor you today for balancing a wonderful career here at Yale while dealing with a family crisis of tragic proportion back in your home state of Texas. You have been editor of the Morse Literary Magazine. A talented writer and lover of theater, you have produced and directed a one-woman production of Sophie Treadwell's "Machinal." You have been president of the Yale Russian Chorus and a member of Nueva Tropa Teatral, a student group dedicated to bringing more Spanish and Latin American theater to Yale. Tomorrow you graduate with a double major in English and American studies. For your courage on behalf of family and University, we are happy to award you the David Everett Chantler Award.
