Campus ChampionCallie Klasek discovered more than an internship program when she answered an email from the Institute of Civic Engagement (ICE) her junior year. A year later, the senior business economics major is an ICE Action Team member leading homelessness efforts on behalf of SUNY Cortland. In October, Callie coordinated “Addressing Temporary Homelessness,” a deliberative dialogue that featured representatives from five community groups. In mid-February, she wrapped up the Homelessness Items Donation Drive, Engaging Neighbors (HIDDEN), which she created. “The results were beyond my expectations. We collected boxes and boxes of clothing, blankets, comfort products and more for our region's roughly 1,700 homeless members.” Wednesday, Feb. 27Black History Month Sandwich Seminar: “Cartographies of Historical Trauma: Hospitable Spaces in African American Literature,” Speakers: Paula Barba Guerrero, Africana Studies and Communication and Media Studies, Brockway Hall Jacobus Lounge, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Health Fair at the Parks Alumni House: 29 Tompkins St., 4 to 6 p.m. Brooks Museum Lecture Series: “Scared to Death?
