7. Comments
- Dexter along with his staff completely renovated the image of Cooper Hall creating a positive
perspective of the dorm. Along with a variety of activities that we implemented such as Cooper Hall
Choir, the Step Team, and our retention/tutoring sessions Cooper Hall has and open environment for
all individuals.
- I believe that Dexter has the potential to do great things if he would leave his comfort zone. Realize
that although he is in a position that is run predominately by women that it is ok to take a stand as a
grown man even when the women want to treat him as a young adult. It may be too late to begin that
at this point, but whenever he transitions, please keep this in mind. Express confidence and security in
your ideas, present effective ideas in writing with outcomes and if there is no base line for the
outcomes or if the outcomes come from another source outside of the particular line of work, make
them practical to whatever position you are in. Be bold and daring to the point that you remain
employed, but implement ideas that take that responsibility to the next level. Find individuals inside
and outside to support your ideas, challenge your thinking and don't compare their success to yours or
your to theirs!!!!!!!!! You have it in you to do and be better and more effective, you just can't let
people keep you defined according to THEIR dictionary. Know your value and never allow anyone to
underestimate who and what you are because sometimes your silence or laughing it off gives them
permission to continue treating you the way they do!
- Dexter is a great person all around. He has many skill sets that makes him successful and that he
uses to make others around him successful as well!
- Continue to help lead this African American Males to success and don't be afraid to implement your
ideas.
- Dexter Stroman is a strong team builder. With a back ground in coaching he has taken that concept
and applied to being a Director of a Residence Hall. His students are team players, leaders amongst
themselves, and his staff can run the plays where he calls them or not.
- Dexter has all the qualities to become an extremely successful man. One thing that I can honestly
say is that Dexter does not judge people. He talks to all people no matter how they look or act. In
addition to that, Dexter is also a very productive person. He has a vision for the tasks that he wants to
tackle and he's knows how to get it done.
- you can be a little pushy but that’s only cause you want the best for everybody. some of these
questions were a little weird.
