“Throughout the time I took EDU 255, Kathleen Howarth made me realize what kind of teacher I wanted to be. I cherished everyday that I was in that class and to this day find myself trying to mimic her teaching style during my own classes. Also, every time I walked into PER I was always welcomed by the warmth and compassion of Dr. Joellen Bailey. She made me feel like I belonged and was always willing to give me a helping hand or some sort of advice. These women were two of the most important teachers to me at SUNY Cortland and I hope I can be half the teacher they both are someday.”

“It was very hard trying to adjust to Cortland and college life, but once I found my passion (Media/Radio Production), everything else just fell into place. By the time I became a senior, I learned to embrace and enjoy everything that Cortland had to offer because it made me a better person and it prepared me for the real world / life after Cortland.”
