Campus Champion

“Step out of your comfort zone and join something new,” advises senior human services studies major Claire Perini. She did that a year ago as a transfer student from Tompkins County Community College in the midst of remote learning. She applied to be an Orientation Assistant, which has allowed her to explain SUNY Cortland’s many resources to other new students. She practices what she preaches. Claire joined the social sorority Nu Sigma Chi and met new friends. She also found success when she visited the Writing Center for help. “When something sparks my interest, I go for it.” SUNY Cortland celebrates National Transfer Student Week Oct. 18 to 22. Follow along on social media using the hashtag #CortlandTransfers.
