Campus Champion

Administrative Assistant Melony Warwick keeps tabs on just about every detail of successful donor and alumni events, Foundation board meetings, emeriti faculty gatherings and other VIP occasions on behalf of SUNY Cortland — and she’s been here for 36 years! Now assisting her eighth vice president in the Division of Institutional Advancement, Mel’s superior organizational skills and excellent work ethic are unmatched. She’s hosted VIP guests at every football game since 2004 and received both the President’s Award and the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Classified Service. Always on top of her game, Mel is the university’s daily reminder that enthusiasm, initiative and dedication are valued and respected.
