Campus Champion

Ambitious. Dedicated. That’s sport management major Kasey Vaughan. Off campus, she’s a volunteer assistant varsity coach for the Jamesville-Dewitt girls’ basketball team, part-time event manager and operations intern for Cornell University and play-by-play high school football announcer at X101 radio. And she shines as an intern for the Athletics Office, broadcaster for the Red Dragons Sports Network and host of the podcast “Other Duties as Assigned.” Most fittingly, Kasey just received the 2022 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence for having “demonstrated a remarkable ability to balance professional development with academic excellence.”
