Campus ChampionHaley Yegidis, a senior health education major with a minor in psychology of individuals with disabilities, led the university’s Vigil for Peace on Oct. 11 in response to the escalating violence in Israel and Gaza. As president of SUNY Cortland Hillel, Haley loves being the leader of Cortland’s Jewish community. Hillel became important when she arrived as a freshman in 2020 and found a community that embraced traditions she grew up with. That connection has allowed her to excel academically and as a leader of other campus organizations that align with her future as a special education health teacher.
