Campus Champion

Alexis Kane is described by one of her professors as “an amazing role model with great civic engagement qualities and advocacy skills. Her impact in the community is beyond impressive and she inspires everyone else to take part as well.” What more can we say! This senior physical education major redefines the term “Campus Champion” and has more accomplishments than we can list. So, we’ll share her two most recent awards. Alexis was named the 2017 New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Jay B. Nash Outstanding Major of the Year and the 2018 SHAPE America Robert T. Pate Scholarship recipient.

Capture the Moment

Senior forward Emily Busta (center) skates during the women’s hockey team's 4-1 victory over Nichols College on Jan. 6. The team wore custom jerseys for its Cortland C.A.R.E.S. charity game that brought students from Cortland County elementary schools to the Park Center Alumni Arena. Busta, along with senior teammates Nadine de Nijs and Jackie Richards, were inspired to expand their efforts in the community after first working with local elementary students during last season’s winter break. At the game, those students sang the national anthem, participated in the ceremonial pre-game puck drop and formed a pep band. The principal of each of the five elementary schools was presented with a custom jersey, designed by former SUNY Cortland men’s hockey player Darren McCormick ’17. The team also collected donations for the SUNY Cortland Cupboard student food pantry.
