Campus Champion

Angel Alicea-Morales was drawn to medical laboratory research as a first-year Red Dragon, setting him on his path as a biomedical sciences major and chemistry minor. Around the same time his teaching assistant and former SUNY Cortland Emergency Medical Services (SCEMS) chief Kaleb Frierson ’23 recruited Angel to join the campus first-response agency. Now a senior and SCEMS president and chief, Angel leads 10 officers and about 50 members, serving as a jack-of-all-trades. The summer research fellow and biology peer mentor is on track for a future in clinical patient care. Angel’s plan includes service to his community, implementing medical trials and fulfilling his passion for research.

9/11 Remembrance: Join Angel, members of SCEMS, President Bitterbaum, alumni and members of the campus community at Wednesday’s 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the Corey Union steps.
