Each Emerging Leader group has a Castleton alumni to facilitate, mentor, and support the group. The class of 2005 is mentored by Arthur (Art) E. DeLorenzo.

He graduated from Castleton in 1964 with a B.S. in education with a concentration in Physical Education. He earned a Master's degree from Ithaca College in 1966. Art and his wife live in Clifton Park, New York and Martha's Vineyard. They have four children (34, 31, 23, and 21) and a 2 1/2 grandchildren. |
In 1968 Art joined American Express where he is now a Group Vice President with responsibilities for Upstate New York.
Art joined the Castleton Alumni Association Board of Directors in August 2000. In his words, "The foundation provided to my family and me by Castleton has made a pronounced impact on our lives. This debt is in need of repayment and that is why my energy s directed toward the work we are undertaking."
Art presented the keynote address to the Class of 2005 during New Student orientation in August 2001, when he recounted his experiences as a member of the Castleton's national championship soccer team. |
