An Urgent Message to SUNY Cortland Faculty
from the Director
We need your help!

Several of our most active student groups need reinforcements.
The students who have assumed key leadership roles will be graduating soon.
Please do your best to promote the involvement of your students - especially your current freshmen and sophomores - in these activities.

Below you will find a list of just a few of the groups that meet regularly.
Please encourage your students to check out these groups and get involved.
If you are interested in having a student come into your class to talk about one
or more of these organizations or the importance of involvement generally,
I would be happy to set that up. Just let me know when and where and how
much time you would like to spare.
