Campus Champion

Genny Alexis, a senior criminology major from Rockland County, N.Y., left, and Ali Konnerth, a junior health education major from East Islip, N.Y., were the SUNY Cortland Healthier Campus Initiative winners of a Fitbit and a $100 Target gift card. They tweeted the most photos of themselves exercising, eating healthy and doing other activities, all in the name of health and fitness for the Healthier Campus Challenge. The busy health promotion interns sharpen their health-promoting skills by volunteering with the weekly Wellness Wednesday series, which leads campus conversations about wellness, sexuality, alcohol, drugs, relationships, eating disorders, sexual assault, grief, stress management and more.
