Campus Champion

Loralee Morrow is helping make it a smooth transition when Corey Union closes for renovations after the fall semester. The senior associate facilities program coordinator has worked behind the scenes to get the building’s offices moved into new spaces. She’s also assisted with enhancements to Memorial Library, finishing touches to Cornish-Van Hoesen C-Wing and student efforts to add a fire pit and outdoor furniture near the Student Life Center. Red Dragons can enjoy SUNY Cortland more thanks to Loralee’s work to improve campus facilities.
