The award includes a $600 scholarship in recognition of her outstanding service to the college, her AGS chapter, and to her local community.

One of Patten’s former instructors credits her for helping revitalize College of Marin’s AGS Chapter.

“Through her hard work, organization, energy and her ability to get others to rally around the ideas she brought forward, AGS was once again the most visible, active organization on campus,” said Speech/Communications Professor Ron Gaiz in a letter of support to the AGS scholarship nominating committee.

Patten, a graduate of Redwood High School, enrolled at College of Marin in January 2009 and currently serves as president of AGS Chapter at College of Marin. She plans on transferring to Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts in fall 2012.
