Campus ChampionThe month of April brings Green Days to SUNY Cortland, along with an appreciation for the earth. It’s the same cause Jeremy Zhe-Heimerman champions throughout the year. The coordinator of assistive technology and test administration for Student Disability Services chairs the Student Affairs Sustainability Committee that hosts a farmer’s market each fall. The group also will lead a garden planting Thursday, April 17, and a “Get Wasted” event focused on campus waste habits Wednesday, April 23.
