Campus Champion
When physical education graduate Kayla Sweeney ’21 sought a graduate assistant position last September, the health education major found a great fit working with Health Educator Lauren Scagnelli '12, M '14. This spring, Kayla is in the driver’s seat as Lauren takes maternity leave. She is managing the Wellness Wednesday Series, including a week of events in February centered around body appreciation. Kayla, a women’s lacrosse player who plans a career in physical education or coaching, is the daughter of two teachers who are Cortland alums — Candace Harvey Sweeney '92, M '96 and Matthew S.
