    View this email in a web page Dear Classmate: As 2017 begins, let's see what our Class has done this past year and what we plan to do this upcoming year! Some of this year's accomplishments include: • Class Brunches across the country • Participation in Non-Reunion Reunion & Frozen Apple Hockey events • Keeping engaged on social media As always, we encourage you to keep in touch through the following channels: • Like our Facebook page to stay connected (tell your friends too!) • Keep up to date with Cornell Alumni Magazine by paying your class dues - this year there aren't any paper mailings (only e-mails!) • Bookmark our newly redesigned class website • Please, update your address and contact info so we can send you important news. Let your friends know to keep their information up to date! • Submit interesting news and stories for our Class Notes • E-mail us with feedback! Class President's Message It has been a long time since our first years at Cornell. Court and Mews halls are no longer bright and shiny, Donlon has been renovated, twice, and still isn’t bright and shiny. Even though the campus has changed and grown, our shared experiences remain part of us and connect us to the University, to each other, and to each class of Cornellians that has come before us and after us. Although each class has their own experiences, those who came before us did not have a summer reading assignment (SHOCKING!) and the current classes will never know the joys of the Class Halls, all of us have struggled through tough classes, marveled at the beauty of Ithaca, and made lifelong friends.

We are awaiting the arrival of a quorum and in the interim I will ask every one to please turn off or silence their cell phone and will remind everyone that there will be no photography or recording. Just a reminder at this point we have a rather full agenda but there are no speakers lined up for the five minute Good and Welfare session, so those five minutes will be allocated to other events of the day." 1.

  • SEQR) Negative Declaration Concurrence for Cornell University’S North Campus Residential Expansion, Renovation and Refunding Project
    ANDREW M. CUOMO ALFONSO L. CARNEY, JR. GERRARD P. BUSHELL, Ph.D. Governor Chair President & CEO Memorandum TO: Sara P. Richards, Esq., Associate General Counsel FROM: Robert S. Derico, R.A., Acting Director, Office of Environmental Affairs DATE: March 4, 2019 RE: State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Negative Declaration Concurrence for Cornell University’s North Campus Residential Expansion, Renovation and Refunding Project Description of Proposed Action and Proposed Project. Cornell University (“CU” or the “University”) has requested financing from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (“DASNY”) for its North Campus Residential Expansion, Renovation and Refunding Project (the “Proposed Project”). Based on a review of the attached Transaction Summary Update, dated February 25, 2019, it has been determined that the Proposed Action would involve DASNY’s authorization of the issuance of one or more series of fixed- or variable-rate, tax-exempt and/or taxable, Series 2019 Bonds to be sold at one or more times through a negotiated offering and/or a private placement, in an amount not to exceed $610,000,000 in funding under DASNY’s Independent Colleges and Universities Program. Cornell University is located at 341 Pine Tar Road, City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York. Specifically, the University proposes to refund all or a portion of DASNY’s Cornell University Revenue Bonds, Series 2009A ($258.8 million), refinance the tax-exempt commercial paper issued by DASNY ($52.9 million), construct two residential complexes, the Sophomore Site and the Freshman Site (North Campus Residential Expansion), and/or finance deferred maintenance projects across the Cornell University system ($300 million).

Campus Codes of Conduct, Code Changes, and Procedures of the University Hearing Board and the University Review Board OJA Annual Report AY 2018 2 Executive Summary Undoubtedly, the 2018 academic year was one of profound intensity for Cornell University, and without question, such a sentiment was felt by the Office of the Judicial Administrator (OJA). While some of this intensity can be attributed to the unique events which occurred within the Cornell and Ithaca communities, it is also fair to note that the national and international climate impacted the University. The intensity experienced by the OJA in AY 2018 included: understanding how leadership and personnel changes across the University brought a fresh perspective to the application of policies and procedures; working to triage cases with the Cornell Tech campus, including the limited number of educational sanctions available to students matriculating at that campus versus those matriculating in Ithaca; an increase of complex hazing cases, often with intersecting investigations with other campus partners; working with the campus community and complainants to balance what is permitted under the Campus Code of Conduct (Code) with the actual harm caused by the actions of a respondent; and, a 19.4%1 increase of persons or organizations referred to the OJA, including many high-profile or high-risk cases.
