Addison Trail senior named DAOES Student of the Month

During its Nov. 18 meeting, the DuPage Area Occupational Education System (DAOES) named Addison Trail senior Eliseo Venuti (pictured at left) as the system’s Student of the Month for November.

Pupils are honored with Student of the Month recognition based on citizenship, attitude, leadership, motivation and academics. Venuti was nominated by Steven Cervenka (pictured at right), HVAC/Residential Wiring Program instructor at Technology Center of DuPage (TCD). Venuti was honored during the Nov. 18 DAOES Board of Directors meeting and was awarded a plaque for his accomplishments.

Although Venuti has the opportunity to join his family’s restaurant business, his plans for the future include a career in the electrical, pipefitter or sheet metal union trades.

“(Venuti) is a student who possesses a rare combination of exceptional talent, a willingness to learn and an optimistic personality,” Cervenka said. “He enjoys working in the shop on projects with his peers or tackling complex tasks on his own. (Venuti) constantly challenges himself to improve upon his skills to better prepare him for his future in the trades.”
