Campus ChampionSenior biological sciences major Dwayne Jones is the Student Government Association’s director of diversity, equity and inclusion and was the main organizer of this year’s Abraham Lincoln DeMond 1889 Day. Amid the considerable work of putting on the university’s third annual day to honor SUNY Cortland’s first African-American graduate, he selected groundbreaking urban educator Althea “Faith” Shaw-Hester ’88 as this year’s speaker.
