Campus ChampionA conversation with Institute for Civic Engagement (ICE) Director John Suarez inevitably leads to his commendations of ICE Action Team interns, students and colleagues who tackle issues of public concern. “It’s the real deal when our students connect with people in our community,” he says. They work out their feelings, deepen their understanding, learn to apply what they know and reflect on the experience when they participate in applied learning with people whose lives are directly affected by these partnerships. Stronger students. A better community. Everyone wins. SUNY Cortland’s advocate for developing engaged citizens with a strong social conscience is mentor, counselor, teacher, coordinator and director, John Suarez.
