Campus ChampionJulian deRoziere, a senior recreation administration major, will sharpen their planning and leadership skills as Orientation’s administrative coordinator. Organizing one of the university’s largest events is not daunting for Julian, who’s a resident assistant, the Recreation Association president and an active member of the New York Public Interest Research Group. Supervising 17 orientation assistants who will introduce our newest class to college life, Julian’s message to each Red Dragon is simple: get involved at Cortland, join clubs and sign up for activities — it’s all about community. Wise advice from a transfer student who calls Cortland “home away from home.”

The young scientists were seeking a title in the annual New York State Envirothon, a hands-on competition in natural resources and environmental science sponsored by the New York State Soil and Water Conservation District. Students worked at field sites across Cortland, including Cortland Water Works near campus, in five categories – renewable energy, aquatic ecology, wildlife forestry, soils and land use. They analyzed items such as animal pelts, soil pits and plants, and they also enjoyed free time on campus.
