Campus ChampionFreshman Hallie Weinman wants to produce her own TV show, something like the popular "Fixer Upper" series, so her studies are currently focused on that goal. The communication studies major just added graphic design as her minor, and she’s immersing herself in those subjects. When she heard about the Alumni Association’s Cortaca T-shirt contest, she put her skills to the test and created the winning design. Hallie’s parents, who are both alumni, will join students and fans in wearing red on Saturday when Cortland takes on Ithaca College at noon at the Stadium Complex in the 60th annual Cortaca Jug game. Students can receive a free Cortaca 2018 T-shirt by participating in this week’s Lose the Blues campaign.

Following a literacy activity that explained how potatoes and garlic are grown, everyone got their hands dirty as they dug blue potatoes that were planted last spring. That was followed by planting garlic that will be ready for harvest in July. The Model Garden was created in 2013 for the purpose of educating the campus and broader community on sustainable gardening practices. Now located outside of Memorial Library, produce from the garden is used by Auxiliary Services Corporation (ASC), donated to area food pantries, and eaten by garden volunteers.
