Campus ChampionGraphic design senior Matthew Okerayi makes the most of his time at SUNY Cortland by getting involved in projects close to his heart. He has a line of clothing, Designs by OKE, being produced in China and hopes to travel there to learn more about clothing manufacturing. In the meantime, he advocates for upcycled clothing, sharing his message as senior advisor to the College’s new Fashion Club. Last semester he collaborated with library and marketing staff and classmates to develop a map of Memorial Library and this semester he fine-tuned his design skills when he produced the winning cover design for the Transformations program.
