Campus Champion

After 28 years as head coach of the men’s basketball program, Tom Spanbauer ’83, M ’86 announced his retirement. He’s stepping back from basketball, but SUNY Cortland is fortunate that he’ll continue as a lecturer and head women’s tennis coach. This Campus Champion’s love for SUNY Cortland runs deep and this longtime volunteer will continue to give back. Find him at Commencement, where he’s been a marshal as long as he can remember — “It’s the happiest event on campus,” he says. Also, he’ll be volunteering at student conduct hearings, Midnight Breakfasts and as a member of the Campus Safety Committee.
