Mr. Vincent Surace, Facilities and Operations Coordinator Tells All

Vincent Surace, Facilities and Operations Coordinator

I mentioned in a prior post that I had the pleasure of interviewing Vincent “Vinnie” Surace, Facilities and Operations Coordinator of the Chamberlain Student Center. During the interview, I learned that Surace has such a wonderful story to tell about all the experience he has acquired during his seven years employment with the student center.

In addition to heading facilities and operations, he also co-oversees 40 student staff that work at the Info Desk and Prof’s Place eatery. Surace expressed that the relationships he has formed from interacting with numerous students and staff will last a a lifetime, which is the main reason why he loves his job.

Surace is a Rowan University graduate with a degree in communications. While completing his undergraduate degree, he worked as a building manager for both the student center and recreation center.  Being a building manager allowed him to familiarize himself with various aspects of the building.

Surace mentioned, “I do believe that my knowledge in tech also helped me land the job as well because it gave me an added feature that other candidates couldn’t offer, and my video editing skills also helped because at the time no one really could edit like I could.”

My hat goes off to Surace because he makes sure that the student center is clean, safe, and that everything is running smoothly at all times. He takes his job very seriously, but he is a very down to earth person that can make anyone laugh if you get the opportunity to talk to him.

I had the great pleasure of interviewing the Facilities and Operations Coordinator,Vincent Surace earlier this week. Surace has occupied this position for a total of seven years come June, and he gave me some interesting information about his job and the Chamberlain Student Center.

He is quite the comedian, and he made  me laugh the entire time. Be sure to check back tomorrow when I post a segment of my audio interview with Vincent Surace. I hope you have a sense of humor!
