Campus ChampionAssociate Professor of History Scott Moranda strives to emulate the small-school environment that’s ideal for stimulating conversations about the world around us. Naturally, the Cultural and Intellectual Climate Committee (CICC) caught his attention when he joined SUNY Cortland in 2005.
