Campus ChampionAnthony Pellegrino has always known he wants to be a teacher in his hometown on Long Island, N.Y. Despising cold weather, he ventured to North Carolina State University as a freshman but after a semester he wanted a strong teaching university closer to home. He fell in love with SUNY Cortland on a winter day visit so he decided to become a Red Dragon. Anthony is an RA and involved with the Transfer Network Team. He’s a great resource for new transfers. The junior adolescence education: social studies and economics major recently was named president of Tau Sigma, the transfer honor society.
