Campus Champion

Tatum Pittman, senior adolescence education: English major works toward bringing more diverse curriculums into public schools. She intends to make these changes from the top — first as a teacher, then as an administrator and superintendent — and she’s already making a difference. The Syracuse City School District student teacher, as part of Cortland’s Urban Recruitment of Educators program, is making connections and setting her academic and professional plan. For the second year, she is director of diversity, equity and inclusion for the Student Government Association and recently led SUNY Cortland’s Abraham Lincoln DeMond Day, which launched Black History Month events on campus.
