Five years ago, Coty Cowles made the best decision of his life by taking this week’s campus cutie off the market. As if her adorable smile, fun loving personality, and creative nature aren’t enough, she is also smart, talented, and caring. Mackenzie Gillett is a graphic design major here at SUNY Oswego and puts all the love she has in her enormous heart into both her relationship and her work. This sweetheart of Oswego is one of a kind, making Coty one of the luckiest guys around. But don’t be too upset that she is taken; being her friend is just as fulfilling, so if you see her around campus, strike up a conversation. You won’t regret it!
