Campus ChampionKhyla Diggs, president of the Black Student Union, says “When we leave a club meeting, it is important that we have learned something about one another to build our comfortability with our diverse lifestyles and viewpoints.” Khyla’s goal is to collaborate with other clubs to experience and appreciate our differences. The sophomore adolescence education: history major, Africana studies minor and member of Cortland’s Urban Recruitment of Educators (C.U.R.E) Program is focused on cultivating a welcoming, engaging and inclusive environment. It makes sense that Khyla’s career goals to teach in an urban high school include being a positive adult in her students’ lives. This week, explore something different and attend the Black Student Union’s Week of Events.
