"In her work as an architect, Mrs. D'Orazio has proven to be masterful in the various skills needed to be effective. As a designer, she has a keen eye for visually pleasing work. The feedback regarding the design of the [DeNaples Campus Center] I have received from visitors, guests, and University community members has been extremely positive. In fact, our project has been nominated for several awards in this regard."
