Don Calcagni
Don is Associate Director for VPUL Facilities, coordinating facilities operations for general pool classrooms, VPUL Offices and, working with Sam AlShehabi, fraternity and sorority housing.
Pauline Loria
Pauline is the organizational backbone of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. Her abilities to coordinate and regulate have made her an essential part of the staff. Pauline makes the office feel more like a family and less like a "department." With that in mind, Pauline is clearly the mother of this family who makes sure Larry doesn't spoil his dinner and that everyone is behaving themselves..... Pauline plays the part of the Italian mother for OFSA and for many of our students. Other little tidbits include facts like Pauline does not like to cook.... and if it's red, it's gravy.
