Campus Champion

Thinking outside of the box, international studies transfer student Lydia Sujkowski launched a service-learning project that meets both her Honors Program senior thesis requirement and a personal community need. Lydia has firsthand experience with the lack of local therapists to help with eating disorders and made a goal to raise money for specialized training for clinicians at Cortland County Mental Health Department. She developed her strategy — host the trEATING Disorders 5k on Sept. 9. And she found success — Lydia’s 5k raised over $8,000 that will be used to train several local clinicians in treating eating disorders.
