Campus ChampionLarry Smith, a janitor with Custodial Services, brings good vibes with him wherever he’s needed, from West Campus Apartments to Winchell Hall. Since joining SUNY Cortland as a bus driver in 2008, Larry has become a favorite of students who enjoy his welcoming personality. Described as a hard worker who never says ‘no,’ he says he always tries to help others because he may need it in return someday. He’s a big believer in the need for more kindness in the world, delivering it one smile at a time and making Cortland a happier place for nearly two decades.
