COHORTS ARE BACK! 
We had our first Cohort event last week. Not able to make it? Not sure who is in your Cohort? Still don't totally understand what a Cohort is? Check out the Cohort FAQ page for more information and visit your Cohort page on Campus Groups to see the other members of the group! If you still have questions, reach out to Joyelle Fleming, Student Council Cohort Chair.   

Each year, Cohorts compete against each other through a variety of social and volunteering activities. Events last year included the Around the World Dine Around, a canned food drive competition, happy hours at Argos and trivia. Keep an eye out for events on Campus Groups and your Cohort Slack channel. 

Last year, Owasco won and in lieu of a celebration party donated those funds to Color of Change and The Transgender District. Honeoye came in second, followed by Keuka in third, Skaneateles in fourth, Conesus in fifth and Otisco in sixth. Luckily, points reset each year so we'll see who comes out in first place! Cohort scores will be updated and shared after each event, so stay tuned!
