Michigan's AmeriCorps Alum Spotlight
Alum of the Month – November 2025: Hunter Roznowski, College Completion Corps
From 2023-2024 Hunter Roznowski served with the College Completion Corps AmeriCorps program. College Completion Corps places AmeriCorps members on college campuses across Michigan to support first-generation, low-income, and students of color with a focus on college persistence and completion. The program is housed under Michigan College Education Network (MCAN) that aims to provide equity through college access.
During his service, Roznowski gained invaluable insights into the challenges faced by students and the broader community. His AmeriCorps experience has been transformative, allowing him to see the broader educational landscape in Michigan. Roznowski remarks that “AmeriCorps service was a unique opportunity to engage deeply with college and social systems while gaining firsthand insight into the challenges faced by many in the community. It allowed me to holistically support and connect with students, recognizing their unique humanity and values. Service was a countercultural act that fostered belonging, purpose, and growth.”
Roznowski’s service had a deep impact on his view of service to the community. According to Roznowski, “AmeriCorps strengthened my commitment to servant leadership, deepening my sense of empathy, compassion, and dedication to equity. It broadened my understanding that not everyone has the same opportunities for success and solidified my belief in education as a powerful tool for social change.” Roznowski continues, “More than ever, my service experience has shaped my passion for advocating for the common good.”
His experience during service further solidified his passion for helping students and has helped him in his own professional journey. In his current role, Roznowski is an Enrollment Services Specialist at Mott Community College, where he plays a pivotal role in supporting students through their educational journeys. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Bellevue University and is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Industrial and Organizational Psychology at Walden University.
