“Hi [SOM Directors of HR]: I just wanted to write to you to relay praise for Chandra Roxanne, who
was a huge asset to both Tony, Katie, and myself. This year, Katie and I, with Tony’s advisement, led
the Social Impact Lab, a unique weekly club that gathers social impact students and professionals to
discuss some of the most controversial and interesting topics in the social sector space. Chandra
played a huge role in booking rooms, setting up for events, coordinating catering based on the ever
changing RSVP’s each week. Chandra not only executed these tasks, but was extremely proactive in
making sure that Katie and I were prepared each week…. In all aspects, Chandra felt very much part
of the team and for that we are incredibly grateful. I just wanted to relay our thanks to Chandra as
well as ensure that you and others knew about her dedication and hard work!”
SOM Student, Class of 2014
“Dear [SOM Student]: I agree with your assessment as [Chandra] continues to be a fabulous faculty
support member and point person for the Program on Social Enterprise. Chandra is fast, responsible,
and responsive, and is unfailingly professional and positive in every interaction in which she
engages. Her attention to details and thoroughness in tasks is fantastic.”

“Chandra is an all-around superstar and has worked hard behind the scenes organizing the rooms,
catering each week, and logistics – without her, we’d be in trouble!"

came in handy when I was running a bit late for my last two meetings. It was a great day.” 2013
