Campus-Champ-Fran-Elia.jpg

Campus Champion

Fran Elia eats, sleeps and breathes SUNY Cortland athletics. Tasked with promoting one of the nation’s strongest Division III programs, the College’s sports information director juggles press releases and media requests during the day with game scoring duties at night. Most weekends, from August to May, he’s covering at least one of the College’s 25 varsity sports teams. Many All-Americans and national champions have passed through Cortland during Fran's 22-year tenure. He’s set to join some of them in select company Oct. 20, when he’ll be inducted as an honorary member into the College’s C-Club Hall of Fame.
