The Man, The Myth, The Legend...James Lorello

I received some great news last night! One of my former students from when I was working at the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) emailed me last night to let me know he won the ACPA outstanding residence life graduate student of the year award.  I had the privilege of working with James Lorello for two years and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to supervise him for one year on the Maple Staff (HOOOOOT).  He was an all star.  James has a great grip on reality and has a gift for gauging situations and reading people.  He has a great heart and is going to make a phenomenal student affairs professional.  He was a joy to supervise and it was fun watching him grow during my two years at USF.  I wish I could take some credit for his success but I know he was on his way well before me...I'm just glad I got enjoy some of the ride.  Congrats Buddy.  The award is well deserved and I hope we see you in the northeast very soon!
