Representatives from more than a dozen Cornell University programs, offices and initiatives will be available under one downtown Ithaca roof Feb. 4 to take questions about the roles their organizations play in and around Tompkins County.

The Cornell-community forum will take place in the Women's Community Building, 100 W. Seneca St. in downtown Ithaca, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend.

Cornell and Tompkins County benefit from many "town-gown" partnerships each year – some extensive and well-established, others short-term and informal. The goal of the Feb. 4 forum is to provide community residents and organizations with more information about Cornell campus offices and programs.

Among the Cornell offices and programs scheduled to be represented at the forum are: Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County; Cornell-Ithaca Partnership; Office of the Vice Provost for Land Grant Affairs: K-12 Education and Outreach; The Cornell Commitment; Cornell's National Resource Centers; Cornell Public Service Center; School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions; Office of Community Relations; Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality; Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs; Office of Economic Development; the Recruitment and Employment Center; and Transportation and Mail Services.

The forum is sponsored by Cornell's Office of Community Relations.

For more information, contact Gary Stewart, Cornell assistant director of community relations, at (607) 255-4666 or gis28@cornell.edu. .
