Campus Champion
Lieutenant Frank Cullen ’06 was a part of the University Police Department even before he graduated — working part time as a student since 2003. Joining the UPD officially in 2007, Frank now is an invaluable part of campus as its emergency manager. He works to prepare, prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from any possible emergencies that could impact SUNY Cortland. He believes that planning today can put the university into a better place tomorrow. And when students, faculty, staff and parents enjoy an event like Commencement, it’s Frank who’s behind the scenes making sure everyone can feel safe and have fun. Nominate a Campus Champion
