Campus ChampionSenior Sean Platt, a physical education major with a minor in Africana studies, recently delivered the student keynote speech at the Student Conference on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice. He is guided by a belief in leading by example, pride in being an African American man and a desire to support the same opportunities he’s been provided. That drive has led the Cortland’s Urban Recruitment of Educators scholar to serve as president of SUNY Cortland’s NAACP chapter, vice president of Men of Value and Excellence, a Male Multicultural Initiative student coordinator and coach of women’s club basketball.
