    HERE in SPIRIT Cornell Celebrates Its First-Ever ‘Virtual Reunion’

    REUNION 2020 HERE IN SPIRIT Cornell celebrates its first-ever ‘virtual Reunion’ REMOTE, YET CLOSE: Student singers from the Glee Club and Chorus n June, more than 10,500 alumni from the classes of 1937 (above) join their voices on Cornelliana Night. Below: The weekend’s to 2020 participated in Reunion—a record-breaking turn­ events included (clockwise from top left) a book reading by Arts & out. Attendees enjoyed a Chimes concert, a tour of the Sciences Dean Ray Jayawardhana, reminiscences by well-known alumni I including Kate Snow ’91, a teach-in on racism and social justice, and a Botanic Gardens, class happy hours, and much more. tour of the Vet college. Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.

    Employee Wellbeing at Cornell Re

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations. Thank you for all of your contributions

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.
