Campus Champion

Residence Hall Director Cyrenius Nelson ’19 helped plan last week’s Black Lives & Liberation Forum that sparked a campus-wide conversation on race between 200 participants. He assisted the administration in supporting students who are coping with the many feelings related to recent killings and the Black Lives Matter movement. Cyrenius helps young people find their voices. He’s been a youth camp counselor, a church pastor and more and he’s working toward a master’s in higher education administration. He envisions a stronger community through unity. “We’ll use feedback from the forum to prepare training for residence life staff,” Cyrenius said. “We’re going to continue to love each other.”

SUNY Cortland Emergency Manager Nick Tomizawa discusses steps the university could take in order to restart classes on campus during a COVID-19 operations workshop in Sperry Center on May 29. The workshop, during which all participants wore masks and practiced social distancing, was the first big meeting held on campus since faculty, staff and students began working remotely in response to the pandemic. Although a return to campus depends on the continued slowing of the virus’ spread in New York, President Erik Bitterbaum has submitted to SUNY administration a proposal to safely resume in late August.
