There are a lot of things Sourin residents would like to change about their dorm, whether it is the lack of air conditioning and circulation or their roommate.
However, one aspect Sourin residents agree they would never want to change is their lounge security guard.
Gloria Prioleau works downstairs in the lounge of Sourin, making sure everything in Sourin Residence Hall runs smoothly for the freshmen residents who live within those walls.
Her lively personality and warm smile are quickly making her a favorite among Sourin residents.
Hired just this past August, Prioleau is settling into Saint Joe's and is already becoming a familiar face Sourin residents love to see.
While new to Saint Joseph's University, Prioleau has been working in the security business for eight years now and knows its ins and outs. Prioleau makes sure students swipe in, signs in guests, and sees too it that students who need to get to the Student Health Center get there.
On duty from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., Prioleau takes her job very seriously.
"My first priority is that they [the students] get where they need to be and feel safe," she said.
One resident mentioned that she remembered Prioleau saying that she wants to know each of her residents by name in case of an emergency.
Lauren Murray, '11, said, "She cares a lot about her job."
To ensure everyone's safety, Prioleau does routine bag checks as residents enter Sourin Hall. According to Prioleau she has never found anything and hopes she never will.
Prioleau believes that the busiest hours are 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and, "The more busy it is, the more time flies."
When asked how she likes Saint Joseph's University, Prioleau responded with a smile and a nod, "So far, so good."
She came across the position as lounge security guard online one day, checked Saint Joseph's University out, and decided it was a winner.
When asked how she feels about the students here and her residents, Prioleau's response was heart warming.
