Campus Champion

Florencia Loda has a passion for teaching and for languages. The Argentinian native transferred to SUNY Cortland while raising three young children. Now in her final year as a childhood/early childhood education major, Flor has a bright future in bilingual elementary education. Fluent in Spanish, English and Italian, she juggles college with family and some community translating. Flor is a role model for her three daughters, ages 3, 5 and 7, and a mentor for her classmates. Faculty praise her talent for processing tasks with ease and communicating her understanding to support classmates when content is complex and challenging.

It’s National Transfer and Non-Traditional Student Week. SUNY Cortland celebrates Florencia and recognizes all our adult students who balance college with family, jobs, community and more.
