Ladies, for this week’s campus celebrity, I will not be focusing on a celebrity similar to Paris Hilton, but a celebrity similar to Julia Roberts; one that is respected for her career and loved by many for her genuine demeanor. This woman’s name is Elayne Shapiro. She serves as an idol to many students interested in studying various aspects of Communication Studies. Elayne is a friend to all, always supportive and loving, along with being available to talk to students at any time. She is so experienced and intellectual when it comes to communicating with others that she is open to giving personal advice on any problems you may be having. She is a wonderful listener and truly cares to listen to whatever it is you have to say. In addition to being a wonderful counselor to students, Elayne is also a marvelous teacher and pours her all into passing on knowledge to our generation to better the future. She resides in the Buckley Center building in her office on the 2nd floor. Everyone, this woman is a blessing to us all. She is an essential celebrity to our campus every day. It is not every day that you find someone who is willing to be everyone’s hero. Ladies – a mother, a sibling, a wife, a daughter, a woman always respected, Elayne Shapiro.
