Campus ChampionChristopher Ortega ’06, assistant professor of communication and media studies and Africana studies, opened SUNY Cortland’s Black History Month celebration with a well-attended virtual lecture detailing racism on television with examples of historic black experiences woven into fictional stories. The Red Dragon alum is passionate about teaching and goes above and beyond outside the classroom. “How do you say no to students?” Chris connects with students in a variety of majors in his intro-level courses, where he believes they learn things that may be important down the road. As advisor to multiple clubs, he looks forward to accompanying students to more conferences, like the Somos El Futuro Model Senate a year ago at the New York State Senate.
