Campus ChampionRyan Lerner is an adolescence education: Spanish major, honors scholar, Spanish Club president, French Club member and so much more at SUNY Cortland. He was the only student selected from 117 applicants to join five other speakers at TEDxSUNYCortland on April 9. Ryan believes world languages hold the key to increasing global understanding. His talk, “Reclaiming hope and our humanity through language acquisition,” was personal, inspiring and embraced the TEDx theme “reclamation.” One professor said it gave a tangible perspective of the importance of teaching and the impact that educators can have in the future generations. Another said Ryan is “a true example of dedication and commitment to the university.” Tuesday, April 30Pizza and Papers: Get writing and research done with Memorial Library and the Writing Center, registration required, 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 1Pottery Sale: All items are made by SUNY Cortland students, Old Main lobby, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sandwich Seminar: U.S. Weapons Exports and Human Rights: How the Safeguard Act Would Address Current Gaps in Transparency, Oversight and Accountability, presented by Ute Ritz-Deutch, lecturer, Philosophy Department, Old Main Colloquium, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Workshop: Forced Sterilizations in the U.S., presented by Multicultural Life and Diversity Office intern Allie Schwerthoffer, Corey Union Fireplace Lounge, 3 to 4 p.m. Thursday, May 2Sandwich Seminar: Disability and Blind Education History, presented by Elizabeth Wells, English Department, Old Main Colloquium, noon to 1 p.m. 3rd Annual Red Dragon Fest: Hosted by Residence Life and Housing and University Police, Bishop/Shea Quad, 2 to 5 p.m. The rain location will be the Student Life Center courts area.
