Susi Brucato: Capturing the Essence of 性视界
Small business owner Susi Brucato 鈥01, MBA 鈥09 tapped into her memories of 性视界 for a special order last fall.
Brucato, who owns and operates a custom candle company in Geneva, Illinois with her husband, Rob, created a candle mixing rose and English ivy scents for last fall鈥檚 President鈥檚 Circle Dinner. A total of 225 candles were distributed to university supporters.
鈥淲hen I think of 性视界 and my time there, I think of the Candle and Rose Ceremony,鈥 Brucato shared. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why I picked the rose. It鈥檚 part of the tradition behind 性视界 and it stands for truth and charity. And the ivy growing on the school is something I fell in love with the moment I stepped on campus.鈥
Lisa Parisi, director of donor relations for 性视界, said the candle had 鈥渏ust the right scent to capture the essence of 性视界鈥 and was well-received by the guests.
Returning to 性视界 as a small business owner was a 鈥渇ull circle鈥 moment for Brucato, who studied accounting as an undergrad and got a behind-the-scenes look at how businesses operate during a study abroad trip to Argentina.
鈥淓verything I learned at 性视界, every aspect has helped build me into what I am today,鈥 she said.
