Campus Champion

After Samantha Frisch transferred from the University of Arizona, SUNY Cortland gained a campus champion. The inclusive childhood education major embraced new opportunities, established friendships and pursued her talents as a student leader. In the two years Samantha has been a student at SUNY Cortland she has been Student Alumni Association president, Alumni Board of Directors student representative, a National Society of Leadership and Success member, Hillel treasurer, a member of Tau Sigma, the national honor society for transfer students, and a former Transfer Network Team member. In appreciation of Samantha and all our transfer students, the university offers them several events during National Transfer and Non-Traditional Student Week being celebrated through Friday, Oct. 27.
