Cornell Class of 1966 New! Cornell Class Dues Payer Rewards ProgramFor most Cornellians, your connection with Cornell University has always had its own rewards. Beginning this year, by paying your Cornell Class Dues you will receive exciting discounts on The Cornell Store, Reunion registration, computers and many more through the Cornell Class Dues Rewards Program. These rewards will be updated periodically to meet your needs on and off campus and to make your Cornell Class participation even more rewarding to you. What's Up with Ezra? (June 16,2008) The newest class to join the Cornell alumni community got started in high style. The Class of 2008 graduating seniors garnered donations from 53% of the class for a total of $66,402. The check was presented to President David Skorton during Senior Convocation on May 24. Way to go! Graduation and reunion weekends are over but life far above Cayuga?s waters goes on as busy as ever during the summer. Cornell Adult University courses start on July 6. Any classmates attending? Also taking place are a wide variety of three, six and eight-week summer courses, the Summer College Program for High School Students, and Pre-Law and executive programs. We also have a few new faculty appointments. Law professor Stewart J. Schwab has been reappointed Allan R. Tessler Dean of the Law School for a five-year term starting in 2009. An expert on employment and labor law, Schwab joined the Cornell faculty in 1983. Alice N. Pell has been named vice provost for international relations starting on July 1st. Pel is a professor of animal science in CALS and the director of Cornell?s International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development. Anne Kenney was appointed in May as the Carl A. Kroch University Librarian, in charge of managing the more than 7.5 million books in Cornell?s 20 libraries. She is a specialist in archival and digital preservation. Dr. Robert Min has been appointed Radiologist-in-Chief at New York-Presbiterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center and chairman of radiology at WCMC. Dr. Min is well known as a pioneer in the development of safe methods of providing relief for painful and common conditions. Professor Tim Murray will begin a five-year term on July 1st as director of Cornell?s Society for the Humanities, considered by many the most prominent think tank in the United States dedicated to the propagation of new knowledge. Murray joined the faculty in 1979 and is currently professor of English and comparative literature. He is also the founding curator of the Rose Golden Archive of New Media Art in the Kroch Library. Groundbreaking took place on May 16 for the 16,000 square-foot expansion of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. When completed, the new wing will allow to put more of the Johnson?s collection on display. Faculty and students have recently begun moving into Weill Hall, the new jewel of Cornell?s New Life Sciences Initiative. The $162 million, 263,000 square-foot building will open officially in October. It will provide the latest facilities for interdisciplinary research and teaching in the biological, physical, engineering, computational and social science, as well as the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology and the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
