Campus ChampionSue Pettitt estimates that she’s stitched more than 500 cloth face coverings since March, many of them for the daycare-age children at Whitney Point Head Start. An office assistant in the Clark Center for Global Engagement and a quilter by trade, Sue learned that local families sought smaller face coverings to fit their younger children. So she perfected her work featuring Disney characters and superheroes, sometimes sewing until 2 or 3 a.m. Sue donates her hand-made pieces to anyone in need, including Cortland students. She believes it’s a simple way to practice her craft while helping others.
