When asked about his favorite thing(s) about Fredonia, Thomas said “What I love most about Fredonia is its caring community. As an RA I have gotten the chance to have a bigger role in building that community. When I was a freshman my RA’s had a huge impact on me and I wanted to have that same effect on my residents. Seeing them everyday and getting the opportunity to help them with anything they are going through makes me extremely happy. Building a community where all my residents feel safe, valued and respected has been significant in my life here at Fredonia.”
Thomas was nominated by Kyle Piscitelli, Residence Director of Grissom Hall. Kyle’s praise of Thomas included saying ”Thomas goes out of his way to get to know the students in the hall. Students go out of their way to come chat with Thomas on his duty nights or during his desk hours. Thomas also goes out of his way to make sure everyone is included, especially our shy residents. Overall, Thomas is one of the most standout community builders I've ever seen.”
Thomas’ future goals include the plan for staying involved on campus and continuing to grow and meet new people. After graduation, Thomas plans on doing a little traveling before pursuing his Master’s degree.
