I have known Marcello throughout their two years in Springfield College's Student Affairs Administration (SAA) M.Ed. program and have come to depend on Marcello to offer thoughtful, intentional comments during class discussion that demonstrate a deep commitment to learning. Marcello consistently completes high-quality work that integrates theory with practice and advances equity and inclusion. They serve as a leader among their peers and colleagues. What stands out to me the most about my interactions with Marcello is that they ask critical questions in ways that open up dialogue about complex issues. Oftentimes, I learn as much from them as I hope they learn from me. I also greatly appreciate that Marcello approaches every project with a willingness to learn and grow as a professional. They not only accept feedback but also use feedback to enhance their thinking and performance. It has been my pleasure to know and work with Marcello, and I am confident they will make significant contributions to the field of higher education and student affairs.
