Campus Champion

Senior Jessica Laing of Bloomville, N.Y., the most prolific scorer and rebounder in SUNY Cortland basketball history, has been named one of 12 national finalists for the NCAA Div. III Player of the Year Award. Even more impressive than her many school records and league honors, Jessica has been an unfailing role model of sportsmanship and humility. Off the court, Jessica’s work with children with spina bifida, children of migrant workers and students with disabilities is approached without fanfare but with the same passion that defines this campus champion.
