Eighteen students got hands-on experience with wetlands restoration during a service-learning trip in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward last week. Working with a nonprofit organization called Common Ground Relief, the students planted hardy, fast-growing native plants and removed invasive species in coastal areas imperiled by hurricanes, development and engineering projects that have eroded land and endangered wildlife. They planted thousands of Cypress trees, visited the levy that broke during Hurricane Katrina, and even rescued an abandoned dog that was starving in the wetlands.

SUNY Oneonta Cross Country/Track & Field Head Coach Brett Willmott will have a front-row seat for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, as one of the coaches for the USA Skeleton team.
Willmott, who serves as a push coach and strength and conditioning coach, will leave Oneonta on Sunday and arrive in Seoul on Tuesday. He’ll be on-hand at the Olympic Village while the four USA skeleton athletes (two men and two women) complete their daily practice runs, hurling themselves headfirst down the narrow skeleton track on a sled that lacks an engine, brakes or seat belt and can reach speeds of more than 90 miles per hour.
