Campus Champion

Admissions-led groups of prospective students and families maneuver campus throughout the fall and at the controls is Jessica Zito ’11, senior admissions advisor. She masterminds daily information sessions and campus tour schedules with SUNY Cortland’s 120 volunteer ambassadors and 35 student tour guides. Then she turns her attention to department showcases, mini open house programs and open house events. Recent open houses drew hundreds of people to tour campus within a couple hours. First impressions are important. Her first visit sold Jessica on Cortland. “I couldn’t do this job if I didn’t love Cortland and everything it stands for,” she says.
