Campus Champion

High-energy sport management major Will McGrath is intent on chasing a career in athletics, which is why he’s willing to wear many different hats to make it happen — even the College’s mascot costume. The senior from Syracuse, N.Y., suited up as Blaze last week when SUNY Cortland exhibited at the New York State Fair. He also served as an events intern at New York Jets Training Camp this summer. During the fall, he’ll work the pro team’s home games and juggle a part-time supervisor’s job at the J.M. McDonald Sports Complex. They’re two more gigs to boost his big league aspirations.
