Kate Guernsey

Kate Guernsey’s door is always open, literally and metaphorically. Apart from her broken door in North Hutch that refuses to shut, her room could be confused for a freshman advice hub or a refuge for her day student friends — it is always occupied. Kate has a calming presence that naturally welcomes people, but her energy and soul should not be overlooked. Embracing her free spirit, Kate departed her home in San Francisco to board at Webb. Her time living on campus has gifted her with some of her favorite memories: analyzing episodes of The Bachelor with other religious followers, choreographing new cheer routines with her roommate, attending all-school events, and venturing out for trips to In-N-Out with friends. Kate has enjoyed many Webb courses from a range of departments, such as Advanced Studies Anatomy and Physiology and Advanced Studies Gothic and Horror Literature and Culture. However, she has spent the majority of her time at Webb building connections with people in the dorms as the VWS Dorm Council’s co-chair, on community service trips, and in the pool during water polo season. While the people at Webb have made it her home, Kate is excited to open a new door at the University of Richmond this fall.
