office space

BY MORGAN STOUT

If you need a recommendation for a good steakhouse in the area, Dr. Terrance Smith is your guy (two of his personal favorites are Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Chão, both in downtown Pittsburgh). His favorite pastimes are eating—spaghetti and a good steak—and watching movies—with the odd Walking Dead episode thrown in; he’s a big fan of Negan. The second-highest scorer in SVC Men’s Basketball history, Dr. Smith was named to the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019 and is trying to encourage his daughter, who’s about to finish up her freshman year at SVC and who, at the age of 8, built the little train toy Dr. Smith proudly displays on his bookcase, to follow in his path of basketball and business administration at Saint Vincent (“She’s still figuring out what she wants to do,” he explained). Dr. Smith’s path at Saint Vincent has been a special one, and Aurelius 122 is a testament to that 26 (and counting)-year relationship.

Ohio State University Tin Bucket

My Ohio State University (OSU) tin bucket is a representation of my love for the Buckeyes. Growing up close to OSU, I was exposed to the atmosphere of campus and the football tradition that exists there. SVC will always be #1, but the Buckeyes are not far behind.

Personal Serviceman Sculpture (Gift)

This item was a gift from my fellow officers when I finished my time in the service (12 years in the Army with three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan). The sculpture is a reminder of the many servicemen and women who I had the opportunity to work with during my service.
