Awards of Distinction

Kaylee Greene, of Asheboro, is a senior political science-international and comparative politics major and an Honors College student at App State. She will graduate from the university in May.

Greene is part of the leadership team in App State's Student Government Association (SGA), where she currently serves as chief of staff. She has been involved with the organization in a variety of capacities since 2021.

"I am especially grateful for Kaylee's leadership during the spring of 2023, when SGA hit a critical change point," wrote Greene's nominator. "She was part of a very small group of students who asked Student Affairs to help them make change within SGA. This process was very stressful, intimidating and uncertain to students, but it enabled the complete rebuild of SGA to proceed."

Greene is also a campus tour guide in App State's Office of Admissions and a peer leadership educator through App State's Office of Community-Engaged Leadership (CEL), where she facilitates interactive workshops aimed at cultivating leadership abilities among groups of students. She also previously served as a student guide for CEL's Trailhead Experience.

Greene is enrolled in App State's Accelerated Master's program, and she anticipates earning her master's degree in international and comparative politics in 2026.
