David Knobbe, assistant director, Campus Recreation Center/Outdoor Recreation, said it like this:
“Jerett is innovative, works tirelessly to improve his community, is committed to real-world problem solving, and is conscientious, personable, and inspirational. He is an exceptional leader and team member who has distinguished himself as committed to service and professionalism. His work ethic is unparalleled; he sees possibilities in situations where many miss them. He is always available to help, and he holds himself and others to high standards of performance.
“I consider Jerett Lupoli to be one of the most impressive students with whom I have worked. His efforts have impacted hundreds of students in positive and significant ways.”
When asked to tell us a bit about Jerett and what he does at Campus Recreation (CRC), David said:
“Jerett is the current Wilderness Outpost manager at the CRC; he has a 3.8 cumulative GPA. He is a 3rd year electrical engineering student set to graduate in May 2020. He has been employed by the CRC since spring of 2017.
“Besides being an excellent employee, he has volunteered with ORGT Whitewater Kayaking since 2016, logging at least 3,000 hours of service to other students. He has led or assisted with over 25 instructional whitewater kayaking adventure trips with ORGT; taught at least 50 kayaking roll school clinics at the CRC; assisted with the coordination of a high-end whitewater expedition in 2017 which served 12 people and lasted 12 days, and involved preparing the team for the 10 months prior to the trip. He is an excellent risk manager and organizer. He is a licensed Wilderness EMT. He served as the primary organizer for the Whitewater community (Vice President) in spring and summer 2018. He has served on the ORGT advisory board for a 2017-2018.”
With all of these descriptions and more – David wrote much more – it was easy to see that Jerett must be selected as a 2019 Student Spotlight.
