Karanovich selected as emerging student leader
Could you explain some of the things you accomplished to earn this award?
Well, I’ve been fortunate enough to be involved in several organizations both in GCSU and throughout the community. Having been involved in these, I’ve been allowed to serve as officers and in leadership positions in many of them. I guess it’s been a culmination of these things that have allowed me to be awarded this honor. It is very humbling to have been nominated by not only my fellow students but even staff here at Georgia College.
What sort of things, in the past, led up to this?
I attribute all my success to God and my family. I’ve been so blessed to have the strong support and encouragement from my family throughout all the activities that I have wished to be a part of.
Are there any new responsibilities that come along with being GCSU’s Emerging Student Leader? What are they?
The only real responsibility that I feel is required of being selected the Emerging Student Leader is to be a good influence and encouragement for my fellow students here at Georgia College. I hope that students throughout GCSU become involved within our community. This is our home and our school; the only way to make it even better is from student involvement.
What do you do for fun?
I enjoy playing racquetball, going kayaking, watching the Atlanta Braves, UGA football, deep sea fishing in the Gulf and just spending time with family and friends
If you had some advice for struggling students, or entering freshmen, what would it be?
I would encourage them to get involved in some organization on campus. We are so fortunate to have many great organizations throughout this campus. This is a great way to make Georgia College what you want it and when you leave this college, you will walk away knowing that you left it even better than when you found it.
Are there any teachers that have really inspired you?
Dr. Noland White, in the psychology department, was my PSYC 1101 professor. It would turn out that he would not be just another teacher but a role model.
Dr. White is the impiety of a great professor; he breaks through to students with his teaching styles and humorous anecdotes. Dr. White is not just a professor who comes 8-5, but one who lives and breathes GCSU 24-7. I always loved the stories that he would tell when he was a student being taught by the great Dr. Lindsey and how they now work side by side. Dr. White to me is a great model for students at GCSU, and I hope, if you can, take him for psychology and get to know him.
