The new Roosevelt Island campus of Cornell Tech has catalyzed a slew of innovative academic programs that will benefit not only Cornell Tech students but also students from the Ithaca campus.
Events this week include Cornell Orchards' Apple Spectacular, a student-made film reflecting on service in Thailand; the Cornell Orchestras playing jazz with special guests; MFA students reading poetry and fiction; and lectures on law and technology, global child welfare and the Middle East.
The U.S. Department of Education has renewed its support for Cornell to continue a program to support and encourage underrepresented students who want to pursue doctoral degrees.
Provost Michael Kotlikoff and Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi announced Sept. 25 new commitments to diversity and inclusion, as well as progress made on initiatives already underway.
