Campus Champion

“Students, they are the reason we are here,” says Deb Williams, who works closely with several of her Communications Studies Department-affiliated student organizations, such as the Dragon Chronicle, WSUC-FM, the Gospel Choir, the SUNY Cortland Debate Team, Speak Magazine and CSTV. “I hope that my interactions with them have had a positive impact.” Williams, a Secretary I who has worked on campus for more than three decades, will receive the prestigious SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Classified Service this month. Humbled and honored by the recognition, Deb considers herself “blessed by the friendships” she has made over the years. SUNY Cortland considers itself fortunate to have her as a campus champion.
