Campus Champion

Megan Dill is collecting data to aid next fall’s statistical analysis on the effect of organic versus chemical fertilizer in garden soil. Happening right outside Memorial Library, she will plant vegetable seeds in three new raised beds — one with chemical fertilizer, one with organic soil and a control with no fertilizer — then will measure, photograph and compare the crops. The inclusive education junior credits SCI 141: Integrated Earth Science and Biology professors Michael Hough and Timothy Conner with spurring her interest and the Garden Advisory Committee for ongoing guidance. Her extraordinary energy and enthusiasm will yield results – for science and for the local food pantry.

Color_run_capture_moment.jpg

Adding more color to spring than nature could provide, the Sertoma Celebrate Sound 5k Color Run saw 170 runners and walkers cross the finish line on April 23. Sponsored by the Student Activities Board and the College’s student chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), proceeds benefit Sertoma’s Hearing Charities of America which provides scholarships for students with hearing impairments and students pursuing degrees in communication disorders and sciences. Additional support is provided for clinics such as SUNY Cortland’s Center for Speech, Language and Hearing Disorders. With the help of 40 student volunteers, the event raised more than $10,000.
