"He defines collegiality and friendship with a true love for students," said a colleague. "He just does good things with no concern for whether it will bring him any personal advancement or glory."
Associate Director for Safety and Security Systems
Described as one of our campus's unsung heroes, since 1996 Zuchowski has shown a dedication to his craft as well as professionalism and expertise in whatever it takes to support and secure the campus. A state-licensed electrician, fire inspector and fire alarm and intrusion alarm technician, he has shown a steadfast commitment to the wellbeing of the Seton Hall community through the maintenance and operation of all safety and security systems.
As we mark the 20th anniversary of the Boland Hall fire, the University recognizes Zuchowski's contribution to campus safety as a leading member of the design committee selecting fire alarm and sprinkler systems and for overseeing their installation in the residence halls. He is recognized for his continuing efforts to maintain the safety of the University community.
One colleague described Zuchowski as wearing his commitment to the University "with a smiling face and cheerful attitude, in the spirit of Saint Mother Teresa, who was known to say ‘We can do no great things, but small things with great love.' Each day in his work, Steve does small things with great love for our students, faculty and staff."
