Campus ChampionChampions lead by example. Marie Blanden, the secretary for the Division of Student Affairs, is a healthy reminder of that. The 30-year College employee quit smoking 13 years ago. Now, she’s a catalyst for Freshstart, a campus program that educates tobacco users and helps them develop plans for quitting. Blanden prepares materials and organizes meetings, which begin again on Friday, March 2, at 10 a.m. in Corey Union. But it’s her empathy that adds authenticity to the program. “Tobacco’s a monster and I’ve been there,” she said. “Quitting seems impossible.” Her own triumph and subsequent work certainly suggest otherwise.
