Campus ChampionNo one at SUNY Cortland is happier to see the return of warm weather than tireless grounds supervisor Don Moody and the hard-working crew he oversees. They often work on Mother Nature’s unpredictable schedule — plowing piles of snow during unforgivable winters and maintaining campus green areas during busy springs. Yet through it all, a smile stays glued to Don’s face. He even goes as far as to bring new ideas to his daily tasks. Wildflowers and sculpted lines, for instance, decorate the “no mow” zones he’s introduced to campus. His job isn’t just simple maintenance, he says. It’s taking care of the environment.

The group of about 30 students was able to view images of the night sky as it would have appeared if the weather had cooperated. They were also able to explore computer-generated models of nearby planets and other astronomical objects based on recent data from NASA probes. Pictured is adjunct physics professor Sean Nolan discussing a model of Mars. The planetarium is just one of the new features that will be celebrated during a dedication of the updated and expanded science facility scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday, April 25.
