December 22, 2020
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Penn State Learning has named Frank Bolton and Marissa Hunt as the recipients of the Outstanding Guided Study Group Leader Award for the fall 2020 semester.
Both students received a certificate of recognition and a stipend of $500. The award, made possible by the generosity of a program alumna, recognizes guided study group (GSG) leaders who commit to creating and sustaining a welcoming and academically supportive learning community for their assigned course. Working closely with course instructors and routinely attending class sessions, leaders host drop-in study sessions online in which they review course materials and help students hone their problem-solving skills in a stimulating and challenging, collaborative learning environment. This semester’s recipients exemplify the award criteria, as noted in the following comments from their nominators.
