Campus Champion

Associate Professor Ben Wilson of the Economics Department invites students to learn firsthand how national problems impact small rural communities through a summer course taught in the Adirondacks. The two-week class will connect students with local residents to survey the impact of climate, tourism, geography and overdevelopment. Ben is a collaborator. He’s a founding member of the Cortland Food Project that advocates for and supports policies and actions that promote a healthy population. He chairs the Cultural and Intellectual Climate Committee which delivers a year-long series of events under a common theme. Next year’s theme, memory, will bring us together through reflection and the promise of a great future.
