Gary D. Podesto is a twenty-three year old
senior pursuing a major in English and a minor in creative writing.
In addition to his baccalaureate work, Gary is also pursuing a certificate
in literary editing and publishing. He hails from a small town south
of Sacramento called Elk Grove where the cows used to outnumber the
people, but which are now outnumbered by all the franchise coffee
bars. The field of political science has opened up a whole new world
of understanding for Gary. He is ecstatic to be working with Studium
once again and hopes that his contributions help to maintain the high
level of academic integrity that Studium has sustained in its tenure
at Chico State. |

Trish Briel, a late bloomer,
is pursuing a Master of Public Administration degree after finally
completing an undergraduate degree in English on a 24-year plan
in 2002. Trish took time away from her studies to raise two daughters
who are now both college students, and her main motivation for completing
the undergraduate degree was to beat her kids through college. The
family of three looks forward to a triple graduation in May, 2006:
a master’s degree for Trish, a bachelor’s degree for
Irene, and an associate of arts degree for Natalie. Studium has
provided Trish the opportunity to combine her love of the written
word with her new-found fascination with political science. |

Rick Davis is a dynamic figure.
Upon receiving degrees in Political Science and Philosophy at California
State University, Chico, Rick immediately reentered the glorious institution
to pursue a Masters in Political Science with an emphasis in American
Politics and Public Policy. Currently, Rick serves as a Graduate Assistant
where he has the opportunity to work with undergraduate students,
which is in accord with his future goals of pursuing a Ph.D. and securing
an academic position at a State University. Unlike some institutions,
Rick relishes the fact that the institution of higher education is
open to all. He wishes to always be a part of it. |
