Joey Curley, a current graduating 4th-year Business major with an emphasis in Human Resources Management, has been honored on the Dean’s Honor List every semester of his academic career. Joey is a highly involved and important member of the Sacramento State community with his co-curricular activities, as he currently serves as a resident advisor, desk attendant, COVID-19 Housing Assistant, National Residence Hall Honorary member, and member of Student Affairs Leaders of Tomorrow (SALT).
Joey was a part of this year’s Sacramento State delegation to the Student Leadership Zoom-in Conference, which encompassed all California student leaders associated with residence life, where he was selected to be the opening keynote speaker. His keynote speech addressed his experience with and growth through his resident advisor career, as well as challenges faced adapting to the pandemic. Additionally, he presented in the conference on the topic of “Don’t Think You’re Sus: Imposter Syndrome as a Student Leader” and was recognized as a Top Five Program. Joey was also instrumental in helping Sacramento State be recognized as the school winner for philanthropy for having the highest percentage of the delegation participating in the conference’s philanthropy event which recognized health care workers.
In 2020, as a part of the delegation attending the Northern Student Leadership Drive-in Conference, Joey presented on the topic of “Cookie-Cutter Boundaries” where he was honored as a Top Five Program, and an EDI Program Award Recognition for incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion. Joey’s efforts last year helped bring home to Sacramento State the Northern California spirit stick, the overall grand prize.
Joey is an aspiring Student Affairs professional and has already been offered graduate school acceptances at Pennsylvania State, Clemson University, University Nebraska-Lincoln, Indiana University Bloomington, and the University of Southern California. Joey has deferred these acceptances to Fall 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic persisting, but we look forward to Joey’s future steps in Student Affairs.
