Ithaca College President Shirley Collado will share some of her life experience, lessons learned and her passion for education at the first Soup & Hope event of the new year, Jan. 17, 2019, at noon in Sage Chapel.

The series is open to the public and features speakers and stories of hope, with free hot soup and rolls provided by Cornell Dining. Bring a soup bowl and a friend.

Over the past 11 years, more than 50 speakers – encompassing Cornell staff, faculty, students, alumni and people from the greater Ithaca community – have touched, inspired and motivated campus and community members attending the annual winter series.

Soup & Hope continues Jan. 31 with Bill Alberta, M.S. ’77, retired associate director of Cornell Career Services and founder of the Cornell Elves Program.
