Social Science Education major Cassidy Michonski selected for College of Education Graduation with Distinction Award

TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 12, 2019) 鈥� College of Education student Cassidy Michonski was selected to receive the College of Education鈥檚 Graduation with Distinction Award for the Fall 2019 semester.

The Graduation with Distinction Award is presented to select undergraduate students in the College of Education who stand apart from their peers based on their academic excellence, professional development, community service, or research and scholarship while a student at USF.

Michonski, a Social Science Education major from Cocoa, Fla., has maintained a 3.76 GPA while participating in numerous activities during her time at USF, such as attending research conferences, studying abroad in and serving as president of USF鈥檚 chapter of Relay for Life. Michonski is also a member of the SCATTER Program, the education honors program for the College of Education.

With a love of history, Michonski said she decided to become a teacher after being inspired by a former U.S. history teacher. 

鈥淚 wanted to be that person who makes it come alive and makes kids fall in love with a subject, because history can be boring if it鈥檚 not taught correctly,鈥� Michonski said. 鈥淚 wanted other kids to have the same experiences I did.鈥�

Eager to share her passions and put what she鈥檚 learned at 新澳门六合彩内幕信息to practice, Michonski has already started a full-time teaching job at Adams Middle School in Tampa. Although jumping into a new classroom mid school-year has had its challenges, Michonski said it鈥檚 the moments where she sees the difference she鈥檚 making in her students lives that makes being an educator worthwhile.

鈥淓verything that I鈥檝e done hasn鈥檛 been to receive an award, it鈥檚 been to further my education so that I can help out my students more,鈥� Michonski said. 鈥淭o be recognized for all of that feels pretty nice.鈥�
