Campus Champion

Vicki Johnson found the perfect words to conclude Sunday’s remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. “This is the time for you to think deeply,” SUNY Cortland’s Protestant chaplain told students. “What will you do to make a difference?” Vicki answered her own question this past weekend as a key contributor to Habitat for Humanity’s Faith Build Blitz and Sunday’s remembrance. Now in her fourth year at SUNY Cortland, her work is filled with the hope and purpose she professes. Vicki, also the executive director of the Cortland County Council of Churches, will help guide the College’s Interfaith Challenge this fall.
