Campus ChampionThe work of Kharmen Wingard M ’11 as assistant director of SUNY Cortland’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) emphasizes four qualities: listening, empathy, positivity and resourcefulness. Those tenets have helped change the lives of many first-generation college students. On any day, the job may require a phone call on a student’s behalf or helping run EOP’s Summer Institute. He also serves as an advisor, advocate and mentor for EOP scholars throughout their educational experience. Whatever the work required, seeing a transformation from curious first-year student to confident senior is all the motivation Kharmen needs.
