Campus Champion

Hailey Ruoff ’98, associate director for design help, launched her career at SUNY Cortland working for Classroom Media Services just prior to graduating. For 25 years, she’s guided students and staff through the university’s technical resources and academic support systems. Along the way she earned a master’s from SUNY Albany and received a Professional Service Award for Institutional Service. Following a two-year process and dozens of campuswide emails from Hailey pointing the way, the university launched Brightspace at last week’s start of Summer Session. “All 64 SUNY campuses are migrating to Brightspace,” Hailey said. “Don’t feel alone, we’re all in this together!”
