Campus Champion

Natalie Yoder ’21, area coordinator in the Residence Life and Housing Office, began her residence life journey as a resident assistant in 2018. She continued creating safe spaces for others, serving as a resource for her residents and helping them build connections. Now, Natalie supervises 14 RAs in Clark and Fitzgerald halls finding joy in recruiting Red Dragons who shine in leadership roles. Each summer, Natalie returns to Eswatini as a volunteer with the NGO AspireAfrica to help develop the first school for children with autism. This summer, the longtime campus leader returned early to accept her Rising Star Award from the Alumni Association.

SUNY Cortland’s newest students make their way to Park Center as part of the Red Dragon Walk following this weekend’s Academic Convocation in the Student Life Center. The event traditionally kicks off the academic year. The first-year students were cheered on along the way by student government representatives, club members, fraternities and sororities, several sport clubs and lots of student athletes. They joined faculty members for an informal reception afterwards, enjoying conversation and desserts before taking on their first classes this week.
