Class Notes

Melissa Oliver is an occupational therapist and Assistive Technology Program Coordinator at the McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. She was recognized for her work by The Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Michael Cerami has been working in the Tradeshow Industry since he graduated.  After a seven-year stint running his own sales consultant business in the tradeshow industry, he took a job as the International Sales Manager for the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) in Arlington. The motto of AUSA is “Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier.”

In his day to day activity, Michael works with companies who have Security and Defense Solutions working globally with the military. He is now traveling all around the world to various military tradeshows, including stops in London; Amman, Jordan; Paris; Abu Dhabi; and recently Istanbul, Turkey. Next year they have added an event for the USA Security and Defense Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at an event titled Defence Service Asia, or DSA. More details on the association can be found at www.ausa.org.

Needless to say, Michael loves his job, the people he meets, and the places he gets to go.  The only downside to the job is that he travels a lot for events (both domestic and overseas) and needs to leave his beautiful wife Melissa (of 17 years in May) and their three wonderful children, Madelynn, 14, Maeson, 12, and Mikey, 10.  Maybe one of these days they can travel with him. They live in Lorton, Virginia.
