Campus Champion

SUNY Cortland athletics find a voice in communication studies major Robert Galm, who serves as lead broadcaster for the Red Dragon Sports Network and station manager for WSUC-FM. Soon, the Pine Plains, N.Y., native will champion awareness of multiple sclerosis (MS) too. After his mother was diagnosed with the neurological disease in 1998, Robert’s family initiated hugely successful fundraisers for MS research near his hometown. Broadcasting commitments kept him from attending his family’s event in 2015, so this year he’s planning a campus walk of his own on Sunday, May 8 — Mother’s Day. More than 60 people have signed up, including his family.
