Cosgrove is a first-generation college student who has worked every summer since the sixth grade to save money for her education. She attended Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo for two years and then transferred to California State University, Chico in fall 2010, after completing her general education requirements.
Cosgrove is a construction management major who “enjoys working outside and with teams.” Once at CSU, Chico, Cosgrove immersed herself in every club and volunteer activity related to her major. She was a volunteer on the Chico State Catalyst Blitz Build to construct two transitional houses for Catalyst, an organization that provides services to victims of domestic violence.
She also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity to build housing for families in need, with a construction company to renovate the Children’s Hospital in Madera, and with The Salvation Army to make site improvements on one of its facilities. She is an active participant in the student chapters of the Associated General Contractors of America, the Design Build Institute of America and the Construction Management Association of America.
The Hearst/CSU Trustees' award is among the highest forms of recognition for student achievement in the CSU. The CSU Board of Trustees will honor the scholars today, Sept. 20, at the CSU Office of the Chancellor in Long Beach, California.
