Campus ChampionSUNY Cortland has drawn record interest from first-year students again in 2026. Fortunately, there’s a steady, behind-the-scenes leader in Michael Johnson, senior associate director of admissions, to oversee the review of more than 18,000 applications. For 30-plus years, Johnson has provided consistency in the Admissions Office. He travels across the country to engage prospective students, collaborates with SUNY partners and works hard to enroll a diverse and talented incoming class. Ironically, Johnson was a three-time All-American in track and field at Ithaca College, earning induction in the rival’s Athletic Hall of Fame. But there’s no denying he’s forever a Red Dragon.
