Outstanding Recent Alumni Award
The 2022 recipient of the Outstanding Recent Alumna award is Katie Chick '07.
Katie was nominated by her peers because of her notable career advancements in human resources since graduating in 2007. She progressed from a coordinator to director in record time compared to her HR industry peers. While focused on building her career, Katie has been a constant promoter for Hood, touting her campus experiences and degree as being instrumental to her success. Recently appointed as president of the Mortar Board National Organization, in her acceptance remarks, Katie stated emphatically that her involvement in the Hood chapter of MB is what set her on her “path to the presidency.”
Katie continues to be active in other community activities, most notably acting as volunteer human resources advisor with the DC chapter of StreetWise Partners, a nonprofit organization that pairs mentees with unemployed or underemployed to provide them with the skills, resources and access to networks they need to secure and maintain employment. Katie keeps busy in her career and volunteer work, she has stayed consistently engaged with Hood, serving as a panelist on career center events, as Class Agent, and as a member of the Century Society. To quote her classmate Rebecca Rittenhouse Dupont, “Katie truly lives the Hood ideals of responsibility, leadership, service and civic engagement. She deserves the acknowledgement she so rarely seeks.”
