New York, NY (October 14, 2003) -- As part of an historic "triple inauguration," Jeffrey S. Lehman will be inaugurated as president of Cornell University at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City on Wednesday, October 15. This follows inaugural ceremonies at the Weill Cornell Medical College in Doha, Qatar, and precedes ceremonies at Cornell's main campus in Ithaca. The New York City ceremonies feature an inaugural address articulating President Lehman's global vision for Cornell and higher education, and a presentation by international AIDS leader Dr. Anthony Fauci on urgent current challenges to global health. Reflecting his global vision, Lehman is probably the first university president to be inaugurated both within and beyond national borders."Cornell Celebrates a New Beginning" is the theme of the inauguration, in which Lehman, 47, will challenge higher education to provide fresh leadership in areas, like health care, that are critical to the well-being of all humanity.
