Campus Champion

Throughout his 23-year tenure with the College, Doug DeRancy ’75 has been working without fanfare to establish relationships with alumni that benefit SUNY Cortland. His years of visits and the friendship he established with John Fantauzzi ’58 developed into a $5.1 million gift that will provide scholarships for deserving students wanting to attend SUNY Cortland for years to come. Doug’s consistent, concerned, friendly and honest approach with Cortland alumni define “friend-raising” at its best and why we honor the assistant to the vice president of institutional advancement as a campus champion.
