Sheerr is deliberate and unswerving--according to Rudenstine, "rock-like"--once her mind is made up. With an office in Fay House and no other job to distract her from her volunteer position, she has an unusual level of oversight into the day-to-day operations of Radcliffe...
There were 44 seconds left, and Harvard had the ball and a tenuous one-point lead over Stanford. Everyone in the house thought the rock was going to Allison Feaster--and why not? All she did was score 35 points and pull down 13 rebounds that night...
