Campus ChampionDon’t let Amanda Carpenter’s age fool you. At 22, the New York Public Interest Research Group project coordinator is barely older than the SUNY Cortland students she educates on important election topics such as hydrofracking and education reform. Yet the 2011 SUNY Albany graduate recently led a grassroots effort at the College to register more than 170 student voters for the Nov. 8 election, speaking to classes and setting up tables in Corey Union to increase voter turnout. “It’s my job to make sure their voices are heard when it comes to the issues that are affecting college students,” Carpenter said.
