Mitch was nominated by House director Mrs. Jackie Carrico and adviser Ms. Debbie Walling. Carrico said of Schiller: “Anytime I’ve asked Mitch to do something concerning Gonzaga, he has always come through. If he himself wasn’t able to participate in a certain event, he made sure there was someone who could. He is a very reliable and personable young man.” Walling reflected on her four years as Mitch’s adviser: “I have known Mitch for four years.
As a student he was a hard worker who loved learning. Throughout our years in advising, I have watched him blossom into a responsible young man with outstanding leadership skills. I encouraged him to run for offices, including House captain. He is respected by peers and faculty. He is a kind young man who knows what it means to be a gentleman and man of character.”
