With a long list of accomplishments and campus engagement, Katharine 鈥淩ose鈥� Guzenski was awarded the President鈥檚 Award on Friday, May 15 at Scholars Convocation.  The President鈥檚 Award requires a nomination from CHC faculty or staff and then selection by the President, Dr. Cheryl Marshall.

鈥淭his is by far one of my favorite things to do,鈥� said Marshall, 鈥渁nd one of the most difficult because of the outstanding nominations received.鈥� 

Guzenski completed her A.A. in Psychology in December 2014. She has been a vibrant part of the College Honors Institute (CHI) since she first arrived on campus in 2012.  As part of the inaugural group of five CHI Ambassadors in 2012-2013 and continuing through 2013-2014, Guzenski helped define the ways that the CHI Ambassadors could serve their members through social activities, such as the monthly 鈥渘erd gatherings鈥� and visits to the campuses of four-year universities, and on campus events, such as the bi-annual CHI retreat. 

Guzenski is a Permanent Member of Alpha Gamma Sigma, the California Community College Honors Society dedicated to scholarship and service, was a 4-semester member of AGS, including serving one year as the Vice President for Community Service. 鈥淚 have had the pleasure of working with Rose for three years now in several different capacities鈥攖he College Honors Institute, Alpha Gamma Sigma, and Supplemental Instruction鈥攁nd she has always been one of those gems that make our jobs uplifting and rewarding,鈥� said Daniel Bahner, Co-Coordinator of CHI and Coordinator of Supplemental Instruction,  鈥淲e鈥檙e going to miss her deeply.鈥�

Guzenski received two Student Recognition Awards while attending 海角直播:  Student Recognition Award for Honors for 2013-2014 and Student Recognition Award in Psychology for 2014-2015.

She plans to transfer to CSU East Bay in the fall. 鈥淚 chose East Bay because it鈥檚 similar to 海角直播,鈥� said Guzenski. 鈥淚t is a small campus with lots of trees and a sense of community.鈥� She will transfer as a psychology/human development major, but her ultimate goal is to be a child therapist or child advocate. 鈥淚 will need a master鈥檚 or doctorate degree,鈥� she said. 鈥淪o I still have a lot of education ahead of me.鈥�

That shouldn鈥檛 be a problem, according to Dr. T.L. Brink, her psychology instructor. 鈥淢y nickname for Rose is 鈥渁bove and beyond the call of duty鈥� Guzenski. She singlehandedly covers two of my sections of general psychology as a supplemental instructor. She even developed an app so that students could review course terms on their cell phones.鈥�

Guzenski has enjoyed her time at 海角直播. 鈥淚 received great support from AGS, the Honors Institute and Transfer Center,鈥� she said. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad I went here and not somewhere else.鈥�
