Gifts to C.U.R.E. - Cortland's Urban Recruitment of Educators contribute to...
Becoming a teacher is a calling — but it’s also expensive. The high cost of certification is a major obstacle for many aspiring educators, with future teachers spending nearly $600 on mandatory fees, including fingerprinting for background checks and certification exams. These costs hit hardest during student teaching, a time when financial resources are already stretched thin. Your Cortland Challenge support for the C.U.R.E. Teacher Certification Fund can make a real difference. Your donation helps provide exam vouchers and reimburse fingerprinting costs, allowing future educators to focus on what truly matters — preparing to inspire and educate the next generation. Invest in the future of education today!
We have had another amazing Cortland Challenge, and we want to say thank you to everyone who participated. ❤ Through your support, you are changing the lives of current and future Cortland students.
We’re still tallying the numbers, so stay tuned for the final results, including the winners of the Athletics Challenge and Department Challenges!
It’s another great day to be a Red Dragon! 🔴🐉
