Campus Champion

Emily Quinlan has spent more than a decade caring for our students and their well-being. Initially, she served first-year and transfer students as a member of Advisement and Transition. A year ago she started in a new role as Student Affairs Case Manager, a direct point of contact with students exhibiting signs of distress, crisis or other reported struggles. Student outreach and consultation during a normal year is all-consuming. During the pandemic, as a member of the Quarantine and Isolation Support Team, Emily’s responsibility has become broader than ever imagined. She’s grateful to have built campus and community connections. SUNY Cortland is grateful for her.
