Osborne, Coordinator of Career Services at CCC, provides coaching for job searching, resume building, creating a cover letter, electronic portfolio building, and self-marketing skills.

Cayuga Collegian faculty advisor, Mary G. Merritt, announced sophomore Zakary Haines was appointed editor-in-chief of the student-run newspaper last week.

I have always encouraged anyone wishing to work on the paper to try, but I finally came to the conclusion, that in the interest of performing good journalism, Steve needed to become an associate editor.” Merritt says she is excited about the energy and talent of this year’s staff.
