NEW YORK -- New York City hosts its fair share of art exhibits, fashion shows and Fifth Avenue parades. But when it's an art exhibit at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations in New York City (ILR-NYC), Cornell Design League's New York City debut show or the Big Red Band marching down Fifth Avenue after a Columbia football game, Big Red in the city takes note. Cornell and Cornellians are all over the city, on and off the New York City "campus." The Cornell University-New York City (CU-NYC) campus stretches from the southern tip of Manhattan, up the island to Lenox Hill on the Upper East Side.
