EMILY MORRIS
________________
Student of the Year 2010
Our
Student of the Year is Emily Morris, an Architectural and
Civil Engineering Technology major from Jefferson, Maine. Emily
served willingly and admirably in various roles at the College while
maintaining a strong grade point average in one of our most
challenging programs.
She
served as president of the Women in Technology (WIT) student
organization and as secretary of the Student Senate. She was an RA
(Resident Assistant) for one of the residence halls and served on
numerous committees.
The
curriculum in Emily’s chosen major is full of such challenging
courses as physics, calculus, soils & foundation, and architecture &
design. She succeeded in these courses due to hard work and
determination. Her instructors note that she approached all her
courses with a can-do attitude, seeking out assistance when needed
and working together with other students.
Emily
enthusiastically participated in many activities. She helped
assemble baskets for a women’s shelter, designed a logo for the WIT
club pins, promoted the College at the Open House, and helped
organize the “Clothes Closet” for students who needed to borrow
clothes for job interviews. Emily’s work as an RA has been
particularly noteworthy. Long-time Director of Housing Dave Gonyea
stated, “Emily is one of the best RAs I have ever had in my 17 years
at CMCC.”
Emily
excelled academically and clearly made a difference at Central Maine
Community College. Congratulations, Emily!
