Campus Champion

Junior business economics major Chester Bennett added political science as a second major last fall. He hasn’t wasted any time putting it to use. He is president-elect of the Student Government Association and he will intern in Rep. Anthony Brindisi’s Washington, D.C. office this summer. Chester understands the importance of staying focused and this is how he intends to govern. He and other SGA officers plan to engage the student body and open conversations between students and the administration. “We would like to focus on two or three major areas and work with the College on continuing to improve SUNY Cortland for all future students.”
