CORTLAND, N.Y. (May 17, 2005) – At the 2005 State University of New York at Cortland Undergraduate Commencement Ceremonies on May 14, the Cortland Sport Management Program graduated 79 students, 22 of them with honors. In addition, a multitude of awards and honors were presented at the Annual Cortland Sport Management Awards Ceremony in April.

At graduation, students were addressed by honorary degree recipient and Cortland graduate Dr. Theodore A. McKee. McKee has served as a federal justice on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit since 1994.

At the Awards Ceremony, the keynote speaker was Richard Pound, a former vice president of the International Olympic Committee and the chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

The Awards Ceremony is held each year to honor the achievements of Cortland Sport Management students. Summa Cum Laude graduating senior Kendra Hayle won the top award in the SUNY System, the Chancellor's Award for Student Academic Excellence. 2005 marked the third year in a row that a Cortland Sport Management student received the honor. Erin Rurey won it in 2004, and Karin Pindle won it in 2003. Miranda Quinn won the Suzanne Wingate Memorial Scholarship Award, a $1,000 award given from funds raised during the annual Wingate Memorial Golf Tournament each September. A listing of honors and awards is below.
