Campus Champion

For Sahteve Lindsay, ensuring that new students feel safe and supported is a vital part of the Cortland experience. That motivation led the junior sport management major to take on an array of extra responsibilities, which include duties as a resident assistant in Dragon Hall and student assistant in The Learning Center. Sahteve is proudest of her time as a counselor for the EOP Summer Institute, where she mentored and supported 43 incoming students. She knows that that the first year of college can be challenging, so she works hard to ensure Red Dragons have a warm welcome.

Capture the Moment

Move-In-2026.jpg

Whether a mini fridge, desk lamp or laundry bag, lugging dorm essentials is a classic rite of passage for the families of the approximately 3,200 students who arrived during the four days of move-in. The weekend requires a little patience and a lot of lower-body strength, but the end result is a residence hall home that’s the perfect way to start a new semester at Cortland.
