Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 said his past meetings with Gusmorino have made him excited to work with the newly elected president over the coming year.
"He has always been intelligent and thoughtful in those discussions," Lewis wrote in an e-mail message. "I have found my one-on-one conversations with him constructive as well."
Lewis, who is also a computer science professor, joked that he found Gusmorino's best attribute to be his academic interests.
"Computer science students are a terrific group and get the best education Harvard has to offer," he wrote.
Gusmorino's opponents rallied behind him, with a tone remarkably different from that which followed last year's election, when several unsuccessful candidates, including Frank X. Leonard '01, threatened to resign from the council.
"I'm happy with the winner," said opponent Justin A. Barkley '02, who garnered 154 votes.
Friends from opposing camps also joined Gusmorino in his celebration.
