Missurelli is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a Tommie, he has been a resident advisor, operations manager, apartment coordinator and night access worker in Brady and Morrison halls, founded Spread the Love, played on the ultimate frisbee team and completed university research for engineering.

Missurelli is dedicated to spreading happiness and building a better community on campus. One event he is passionate about co-founding is the Valentine’s event on campus called Spread the Love, where students make Valentine’s cards for random St. Thomas students as a way of promoting a more loving campus environment.

His favorite memory at St. Thomas was walking through the arches for the first time as a freshman. If he could have a superpower, Missurelli would want super speed because there are not enough hours in the day, and being able to run from south campus to north campus in a flash would make life easier.

Missurelli said his greatest achievement at St. Thomas has been working hard for three and a half years in engineering classes and expecting to graduate in four years with a mechanical engineering degree.

In the future, he wants to be the CEO of an environmental engineering company and make everyday products more environmentally friendly.
