Tom D’Angelo, Director of Supply Chain for Campus Auxiliary Services, is this year’s recipient of the CAS Levison Award of Excellence. This award, named after Dr. Kenneth Levison, recognizes outstanding achievement in one's professional position, as well as a high level of leadership skills and service contributions.
The criteria for this award include having a consistently high level of performance that results in a recognizable and meaningful impact on the organization, and continuous involvement in supporting the mission of the organization while achieving results that serve as a role model to other members of the campus community.
Tom was nominated for embodying our Campus Auxiliary Services mission to have a positive effect on the lives of all who engage our community, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the college. During his 40+ years with CAS, he worked closely with Restaurants and Cafés to procure specialty products, spices and meats for special events, cultural dinners, campus-wide catering events and Presidential parties. He is noted for going above and beyond in service of others. He makes a significant impact in both big and small ways. You may have seen him behind a waffle maker at Accepted Knights, working at the concessions stand for graduation, bartending for galas and reunions, driving delivery as needed, because no job is too big or small when it comes to supporting and having a positive impact on his colleagues and community. He’s coordinated with our food suppliers to develop internships for Geneseo students, allowing students to gain valuable work experience, explore a career path, and build and refine skills that will give them an edge in the job market. His efforts also play an integral role in supporting our local businesses and farmers, and he’s responsible for our annual Food Show and Pride of New York events that bring local companies and farmers to showcase their animals and products on campus. Tom’s generous nature extends to the community surrounding the college as well. He is the driving force behind years of donations to local organizations in need. From organizing donations to local food banks such as Foodlink, Geneseo Methodist Church and Geneseo Groveland Food Pantry, to donating equipment and furniture to the Arc of Livingston-Wyoming.
You can always trust that Tom will get the job done, and that has left a lasting impression on our organization. Tom, we can’t say enough about your contributions and we thank you for your dedication, dependability, and positivity in serving our campus and community.
