Deputy Director of Community Relations Susan Riley has been named coordination director for the Cornell United Way Campaign by President Elizabeth Garrett.

“The United Way provides essential services to Cornell’s neighbors in our local communities,” Garrett said. “In addition to her current responsibilities, Susan will boost the campus campaign by assisting the chair – currently Vice Provost Judy Appleton – who serves for one year.”

Riley, who joined University Relations last February, has been a staff member at Cornell for 20 years, previously serving as a director in residential and new student programs in the Office of the Dean of Students.

At present, Riley is on the Cornell United Way Communications Committee and serves on several on- and off-campus boards and groups, including the President’s Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, Tompkins County Environmental Management Council, the Ithaca Downtown Alliance, and, effective in February, the Tompkins County Human Services Coalition Board of Directors.
