Campus-Champion-Scott-Moranda.jpg

Campus Champion

Associate Professor of History Scott Moranda strives to emulate the small-school environment that’s ideal for stimulating conversations about the world around us. Naturally, the Cultural and Intellectual Climate Committee (CICC) caught his attention when he joined SUNY Cortland in 2005. Scott now chairs the committee that promotes cultural life on campus and has directed its focus on cultivating a greater campus-community connection. This week marks the start of the 2015-16 CICC series of lectures, discussions, film screenings and art exhibits, all of which ask the question, “Where are we?” and offer educational opportunities for departments and programs across campus.
