Campus Champion

Jessica Del Bene ’19 speaks from experience when she encourages students to get involved, join a club and sign up for activities. She’s been at SUNY Cortland for seven years, the first four as an involved student, resident assistant and admissions tour guide. With a bachelor’s degree in Selected Studies, she started her career as a resident hall director (RHD). This summer she guided new students as an Orientation programming assistant. With Orientation completed, Jessica joins 15 other RHD professionals at an intensive training. “As the students’ first responders, it’s our responsibility to be aware of campus resources and to develop programs that support their academic experience.”
