SUNY Cortland Big Event Taking Place This Sunday

SUNY Cortland’s annual “Big Event” will be held this Sunday, April 13th. The Big Event is a student-led community outreach event where students at SUNY Cortland volunteer their time for those in the Cortland Community. Students will help with trash cleanup, leaf raking and more. So far, this year’s event has 323 student volunteers signed up to participate with 44 job sites across Cortland lined up.

“The Big Event is important to SUNY Cortland because it allows us to build bridges between the university and the community,” Eve Cisneros, event coordinator for SUNY Cortland’s Student Government Association said. “It is important to me because volunteer work is something I hold close to my heart and will always encourage others to do.”

The Student Government Association (SGA) will be organizing the event again this year. The Big Event began back in 2015 by Ashlee Prewitt. Students are expected to arrive at a jobsite around 10am on April 13th.
