Campus Champion

Six years at SUNY Cortland have afforded graduate student Melissa Da Costa plenty of opportunities, although most of them are the result of her own hard work. Melissa will speak at Graduate Commencement on Friday, May 17, and plans to reflect on the importance of support systems and believing in others. With a bachelor’s in adolescence education: English and a master’s in literacy education to go along with an abundance of poise and a deep level of caring for others, this residence hall director is well prepared for a career in education, student affairs or anywhere else life takes her.
