Campus Champion

As director of diversity, equity and inclusion for the Student Government Association, senior business economics major Elizabeth Christina Baldi helped lead this year’s campus celebration of Abraham Lincoln De Mond 1889 Day. In addition to coordinating event details, Elizabeth joined a Q&A with featured speaker Shontay Lundy ’04, who founded the transformational skincare product Black Girl Sunscreen. Elizabeth seeks to tangibly improve the SUNY Cortland experience through her service to many clubs and organizations — SGA, Women of Color, Curly Kinky Coily and Women in Economics among them — to make sure all voices on campus are heard.
