The Cornell community is invited to bid farewell to Provost Biddy Martin as she leaves Cornell for her new post as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The farewell event is Tuesday, Sept. 2, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the plaza at Bailey Hall. President David Skorton will make brief remarks, followed by an opportunity for community members to visit with Martin and wish her well.

The event will be held under a tent on the plaza, but in case of severe weather, it will be moved indoors to Bailey Hall.
