Campus Champion
Keep quality teachers in the classroom. That’s the ambitious goal of SUNY’s Master Teacher program in a nutshell, according to Dominick Fantacone M.A.T. ’12. Dominick would know; he’s both the Central New York regional coordinator and the chief campus coordinator for the crucial statewide effort touted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo at his State of the State address in early January. Of the program’s 10 host sites, SUNY Cortland trains the most science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers. Dominick not only assists their professional development locally, he also serves as the point person between all 10 training centers and the state’s capital. Nominate a Campus Champion

Capture the Moment
Winter Break was not on the agenda for more than 300 contractors busy on campus completing three large projects, including the Student Life Center, pictured above. Nearly 150 workers have moved indoors at Bowers Hall, where they are wrapping up construction and testing building systems, and at Dowd Fine Arts Center, where they’re making finishing touches while faculty and staff begin moving in. As the weather improves and temporary enclosures allow for some heat, the number of contractors will swell at the Student Life Center, where there is plenty to do before its year-end opening.
