So what does that mean anyway? So and so reflects well on the University. If so and so, let's say, Amy, is a "star," Amy shines. Amy doesn't reflect. Mirrors reflect. Glass reflects. Amy shines. The moon reflects the sun's light to the earth, but it doesn't shine. technically. So where does this phrase come from. Perhaps the university basks in Amy's star shine---can I say, it basks in Amy's reflected glory? Does the University reflect Amy's star shine?
What is the proper way to say, "Amy makes the University look good"?
