A memorial gathering for President Elizabeth Garrett will be held Thursday, March 17, at 3 p.m. in Bailey Hall. The public is welcome to attend and encouraged to take TCAT or park in the Hoy Road Parking Garage.

Cornell leaders and friends are expected to speak, and the Cornell University Chorus and Glee Club will perform. The event will be live-streamed on CornellCast and on the In Memoriam page that launched today.
