ESU Selects University Service Award Recipient

Savannah Doyle grew up as the youngest of six children in Philadelphia. Always vying for her parents’ attention, she spent a lot of her time figuring life out on her own. When she was accepted to East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, she worked part time and looked to scholarships and grants to finance her education. But Doyle was not going to let her struggles affect her college experience.

Despite her hectic schedule, she jumped at the chance to get involved on campus. In her four years, she was a student employee in multiple offices on campus, including Admissions, the Student Enrollment Center and the Department of Academic Enrichment and Learning. She was president of the Campus Activities Board (CAB), president of Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology, and webmaster for the Epsilon Omicron Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity.
