The Rosemont community recognizes Angelo for his dedication to academic excellence and his strong commitment to the Rosemont mission. His achievements reflect the values of curiosity, service, and leadership that define the student experience at Rosemont.
Angelo is a Business and Finance major who continues to grow as a scholar and future professional. The Rosemont Business Program emphasizes leadership, ethical decision making, and real world application – values that Angelo embodies through his academic work and involvement on campus. On campus, Angelo serves as the Men’s Basketball Manager, a Resident Advisor, and key member of the Residence Life Rosemont/Villanova transition team.
Most recently, Angelo suited up as the Rosemont’s Renny the Raven mascot and enthusiastically attended Will D. Cat’s Birthday Party at Villanova University. Angelo brought the suit to life with pure passion, a quality he brings to all of his endeavors.
Faculty Recognition & Praise
Dr. Christine Hagedorn, who serves as both Angelo’s advisor and professor, shared the following reflection on his impact and character:
“I have known Angelo for two years as both his advisor and professor, and working with him has been an absolute joy. He brings remarkable enthusiasm to his learning, takes his coursework seriously, and consistently engages deeply with the subject matter, often asking thoughtful questions and pursuing additional research on his own. What truly sets Angelo apart is his exceedingly positive spirit and generosity toward others. Even while balancing work, family responsibilities, academics, and numerous extracurricular commitments, he remains caring, encouraging, and intentional about making space for all voices and perspectives in the classroom.
Angelo is a loyal friend, peer and classmate. He genuinely cares about others’ learning experiences in the classroom and he genuinely cares about his professors. Angelo always shows school spirit whether at athletic contests, at professional networking events, career fairs, and most especially last year during our climate teach in where he went the extra mile and delivered an outstanding presentation to a large audience in our theater.
Angelo challenges himself to get out of his comfort zone and grow both personally and professionally in our academic environment. As an advisor and professor, it is an honor to witness that sort of bravery and pursuit of academic excellence. Angelo is exactly the kind of student every professor hopes to have and I am incredibly grateful that he chose Rosemont and the business program. He is a model of what it means to take your education seriously and strive to get the most from your investment in college. He makes us all better.”

Rosemont College congratulates Angelo Ciammetti on this well deserved honor. His dedication inspires classmates and strengthens the campus community. Kind, smart, hardworking, and determined, Angelo spreads success and positivity to everyone around him—he truly embodies what makes our community special.

About the Student of the Month Program
Each month, Rosemont College highlights one student who exemplifies excellence and inspires others. A selection committee reviews nominations from across campus. Students are evaluated on academic performance, leadership, service, and positive influence.
The chosen student is then given an award along with a gift certificate to the school store. They will also be recognized on college platforms and events. This program aims to celebrate those who make Rosemont a stronger, more connected community. Rosemont College will celebrate all who were nominated and selected in the awards ceremony.
A Fair & Transparent Review Process
The selection process ensures fairness and integrity. Three panel members, one each from faculty, staff, and students, are randomly chosen from those who did not submit nominations. Each panelist reviews the nominations anonymously. After all feedback is complete, the process closes to protect fairness and accuracy.
Join the Celebration
Rosemont College invites every member of the community to participate in this meaningful process. Through your nominations, you help honor the students who contribute to our campus with enthusiasm and excellence. Furthermore, recognizing their achievements builds a stronger sense of pride and unity across campus.
