Dante's impact in L.A.U.N.C.H for Life:

As we celebrate our graduating seniors at Launch for Life, we are delighted to recognize Dante Nelson. Dante’s quiet strength, humility, and willingness to embrace new experiences have made him an invaluable part of our L.A.U.N.C.H. community.

Graduate Program Lead Marc Gaudette describes Dante as “always cheerful and willing to lend a hand. He’s a quiet observer and never feels the need to be the center of attention, remaining humble yet perceptive about what goes on around him. He’s not afraid to learn and explore new skills, and this spirit will serve him well in college academics.” President Ken Jordan mirrors this admiration, sharing that Dante is always ready to “jump into new experiences with humility and an open mind - qualities that will make his college years rich and rewarding.”

Dante’s leadership has grown through his time in L.A.U.N.C.H. Executive Director David Crisafi notes, “His confidence and self-worth have made him one of our strongest leaders. He is driven and steadfast in his values.”

Dante, your curiosity, determination, and integrity will serve you well at ODU and beyond. We are excited to see all that you accomplish. Congratulations— we are cheering you on and wish you luck in your future endeavors!
