Michael Cappeto '71, M '73 and Marcia Cappeto Scholarship in Athletic Training

The Michael and Marcia Cappeto Scholarship in Athletic Training was established by Michael Cappeto ‘71 M ’73 to assist future athletic trainers in pursuing their education at SUNY Cortland. The scholarship is a way of honoring the memory of his wife Marcia, who frequently visited the campus while Michael pursued his studies, participated in sports, and was Michael’s biggest supporter.
