KSC Adjunct Faculty Members are Driven to Excellence
Guzouskas Receives Richard Kaywood Memorial Award
Gary Guzouskas, Coordinator and Adjunct Instructor for the Drivers’ Education Instructor Certificate Program at KSC, is the 2015 recipient of the Richard Kaywood Memorial Award, given annually to one individual for outstanding contributions to traffic safety. The award, established in 1985, is sponsored by the American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association, and by AAA. Gary is the first instructor from New Hampshire to earn this honor.
KSC Director of Continuing Education Bob Baker supported Gary’s nomination and said, “Gary continuously researches and synthesizes best practices in the field of driver education instruction, informing colleagues at the college, and advising instructors in the field. He’s an integral resource for creative ideas used in both his classroom and shared with other instructors of the program.”
Gary, who began his career in 1970 and has been with Keene State since 2002, said, “Driving is a lifelong undertaking. The decisions people make from the time they’re teenagers to the point they’re senior citizens can impact not just their lives but the lives of their loved ones and the general community.”
Hull Honored as a Teacher of the Year
Also honored nationally for outstanding achievements in the field was KSC adjunct faculty member Rod Hull, who he teaches Introduction to Traffic Safety for the program at Keene State. Rod was named one of the country’s top driving education instructors by the American Driver Education Traffic Safety Association.
