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. Doyle also served on the board of directors of the Student Activity Association (SAA).

“I made it my priority to serve the students at ESU,” she said. “I know what it’s like to be alone and I never wanted any other student to feel that way—that’s why I got involved.”

Savannah Doyle was selected as the University Service Award recipient at the fall commencement ceremony on December 12. The University Service Award, which is presented to an outstanding senior who has demonstrated exceptional service to the university through on-campus extra-curricular activities, is the highest non-academic honor at ESU.

ESU awarded a total of 354 bachelor’s degrees and five doctorates, in addition to 68 master’s degrees.
