Psychology major recognized as 2025 Academic Day Representative

Honors College Tuesday April 8, 2025

Senior psychology major Kathryn Brook is Georgia College & State University's 2025 Academic Day representative.

The University System of Georgia's Academic Recognition Day is an annual event that honors outstanding students from the state's public colleges and universities. Each of the USG's 26 institutions selects one student who has demonstrated exceptional academic excellence as its representative. The honorees receive a signed resolution from the Georgia General Assembly and a letter of commendation from USG Chancellor Sonny Perdue.

"It means the world to me to be representing Georgia College," Brook said. "I had an extremely difficult high school experience where it felt like I had to fight to survive and thrive. Since the moment I arrived on campus, I have felt so accepted by the GCSU community and supported by my friends, mentors and professors."

Brook cites the liberal arts experience at Georgia College, as well as her faculty and staff mentors, as significant factors in her success so far. This past summer, she attended an REU at the University of Michigan. She is also the president of Eta Sigma Alpha, a member of Psychology Club, Psi Chi and Omicron Delta Kappa. Brook has been a statistics tutor at the Learning Center for three years, and a supplemental instruction coach, mentoring the supplemental instruction leaders for two years.

"I am so honored to represent Georgia College in this light, and it feels like all my hard work over the last few years is finally paying off," said Brook.

After Commencement in May, Brook will pursue her Ph.D. in experimental psychology with a focus in developmental psychology.
