Recognition. In 2011, Guenza was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Polymer Physics, "for significant contributions to the field of polymer physics through the development of theoretical methods to study macromolecular structure and dynamics". She became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2018.
