What makes CSM special? The people who pour everything into making it feel like home.
Over the past 17 years, Leroy Peters, the assistant director of facilities, has been one of those remarkable individuals here at College of Saint Mary.
For him, caring for the campus and the people who live and work here has always been more than just a job.
“For nearly two decades, Leroy has been a pillar of the CSM community, from students to faculty, to staff and the Sisters of Mercy, he has in some way made a positive impact on their lives,” says Dan Spargen, director of facilities. “His loving demeanor and get-it-done attitude will not be forgotten any time soon. It is rare to find such a caring and driven person all wrapped up into one individual.”
His kindness allowed him to develop close bonds with many of the Sisters of Mercy, and CSM faculty, staff and students.
“If you’re kind to someone, they’ll remember that. You can change someone’s life just by being kind. Even many years later, they’ll remember it,” Leroy says. “I always try to be kind.”
His hard work behind the scenes ensured students had a place to call home, and his kindness and compassion reminded us all what living out our values looks like.
