Welcome to November and our month of thanks! Can you believe this is our 31st episode?! Time has flown by so quickly these past several months. In this week's episode, we welcomed one of our biggest fans to the show – and it’s no surprise that we are all his biggest fans as well. While Florida International University and the Chaplin School have experienced many changes over the past 46+ years, there has been incredible consistency and unparalleled high standards maintained by our Associate Dean of Alumni Relations, the legendary Rocco Angelo. We put on our sport coats and dressed up for our discussion with Rocco. We talked about what things were like in the early years: Rocco's journey from his early career in hotels, his time at Cornell, and what brought him to FIU. We loved talking about some of the school’s incredible history. Rocco shares with us some great stories and advice as well as his thoughts on the differences between students back when he started vs. students of today. You may be surprised by his answer. So, what are you thankful for this month??? We are incredibly thankful for Rocco, and we thank him for always being there for us & for any student or colleague that has passed through the doors of FIU. Enjoy this episode!
