ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Executive Committee of the Cornell University Board of Trustees will meet in Manhattan on Friday, April 11, instead of Thursday, April 10. The change was made so that university trustees and administrators can support the Cornell men's hockey team in the national semifinal Frozen Four game at noon Thursday in Buffalo, N.Y.

The committee will hold a brief open session when it meets at 12:15 p.m., April 11, in the Fall Creek Room at the Cornell Club of New York, 6 E. 44th St. The public session will include a report from President Hunter Rawlings and an update on the New York state budget.

Tickets for the Executive Committee meeting can be obtained by the general public on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Tuesday, April 8, at Cornell's Information and Referral Center in Day Hall on the Cornell campus in Ithaca
