Campus Champion

Red Dragons deciding on a major and exploring career options will not find a friendlier, more enthusiastic career coach and educator than Jacob Wright ’18 in Career Services. Behind his genuine smile is an experienced mentor. As an undergraduate, the philosophy major was actively involved on campus. As a professional, Jacob continues to connect and support SUNY Cortland’s men of color through the Multicultural Male Initiative. For anyone looking for direction, Jacob says, “I can help you navigate the ambiguity of life after college — there’s never a right answer because there are a thousand ways to achieve your goal.”
