Campus Champion

Ryan Lerner is an adolescence education: Spanish major, honors scholar, Spanish Club president, French Club member and so much more at SUNY Cortland. He was the only student selected from 117 applicants to join five other speakers at TEDxSUNYCortland on April 9. Ryan believes world languages hold the key to increasing global understanding. His talk, “Reclaiming hope and our humanity through language acquisition,” was personal, inspiring and embraced the TEDx theme “reclamation.” One professor said it gave a tangible perspective of the importance of teaching and the impact that educators can have in the future generations. Another said Ryan is “a true example of dedication and commitment to the university.”

Capture the Moment

Members of the SUNY Cortland football team saw their national championship rings for the first time Sunday, April 28, during a ceremony in Park Center Alumni Arena. SUNY Cortland unseated North Central College (Ill.), the undefeated, reigning national champ, to win its first-ever Division III national title. All members of the team, coaches, trainers and student managers received rings, thanks to a generous fundraising effort led by alumni football players. Also this weekend, two of the Red Dragon gridiron champions, both wide receivers, were signed as undrafted free agents to National Football League teams! Cole Burgess is going to the Cincinnati Bengals, where Dan Pitcher ’10, M ’11 is offensive coordinator, and J.J. Laap is headed to the Los Angeles Rams.
