Campus Champion

Jonah Reardon ’13, associate director of alumni engagement, frequently works behind the scenes to make events special. He’s driven by the joy that comes from seeing the connection people make with our institution. So, when SUNY Cortland's football team traveled to the NCAA Division III championship game in Virginia, Jonah stepped up and donned the famed Blaze costume — fueling Red Dragon passion on the field and in the crowd. It was his first engagement as a mascot, but Jonah always leads with a Blaze-like enthusiasm. This passion helps create heartfelt connections between Cortland and our alumni each and every day.
