Campus Champion

A good first impression is important, and senior Parker Arenas leads the way in giving a warm welcome to new Red Dragon students. As an orientation assistant, he’s a friend who nervous first-years and transfers can rely on. In his second summer as an OA, Parker also serves as a mentor for fellow OAs. That outgoing attitude and love of Cortland also shines through in the criminology major’s three years in the Student Government Association. First a secretary and then chief financial officer, Parker will be SGA president for the 2025-26 academic year.
