Cornell was just another stop on the Grateful Dead’s “Terrapin Station” tour – but when soundboard tapes of the performance started circulating in the late 1980s, the May 8, 1977, show gained legendary status. The oft-bootlegged and traded Barton Hall concert will be available in its entirety May 5 in its first commercial release, as a digital download, a three-CD set and limited-edition five-LP set. An 11-disc Rhino Records CD box set, “Get Shown the Light,” including Cornell and three other full shows the Dead played in New Haven, Boston and Buffalo from May 5-9, 1977, has already sold out its entire limited edition of 15,000. Further cementing the Barton Hall show’s iconic status, the box set includes a new Cornell University Press book, “Cornell ‘77: The Music, The Myth And The Magnificence Of The Grateful Dead’s Concert At Barton Hall,” by Peter Conners.

  • Within One University
    “Any Person ... Any Study” within One University Comprehensive Self‐Study Report submitted to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education February 9, 2011 Executive Summary “Any Person … Any Study” within One University Self-Study for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Submitted by Cornell University February 9, 2011 This comprehensive self‐study of Cornell University, undertaken a decade after the previous Middle States accreditation, takes as its theme the productive tension between Cornell’s historical (and still cherished) goals of accessibility and breadth and its need to function with unity, focus, and efficiency. As we measure the university by the commission’s standards, we find several essential facts or major developments of recent years to be especially relevant: Cornell’s thorough and focused 2010 Strategic Plan; the longstanding decentralization of academic and various other responsibilities; Cornell’s character as the land grant university of New York State; the university’s responses to the national economic downturn, including immediate measures as well as bold changes to create long‐term savings in administrative costs; the approaching retirement of a large proportion of the faculty and Cornell’s proactive response; the commitment to need‐blind admissions and need‐based financial aid; Executive Summary i ongoing efforts to improve our students’ living‐learning experience and to continue or establish means of assessing the quality of student learning. We introduce Cornell in our first chapter, outlining fundamental facts about the university and its individual colleges, describing transformational initiatives of the past decade, and explaining the external context that led to “Reimagining Cornell,” a comprehensive self‐ examination culminating in the 2010 Strategic Plan.

  • 130 7.0 Services and Facilities
    7.0 SERVICES AND FACILITIES NOTE: In many cases, policies governing the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University differ from policies governing Cornell’s Ithaca campus. Faculty at the Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences should consult with the Office of the Provost for Medical Affairs for the relevant policies. Some of the many services and facilities that are available to faculty and staff members are briefly described below. A more complete listing of units, addresses, and telephone numbers is given in the Cornell University Staff Directory. Academic Regalia Academic gowns may be borrowed from the Commencement Office prior to commencement. Information is emailed in April about reserving regalia, which is distributed during the three days before the ceremony. Refer to www.commencement.cornell.edu/May/faculty for more details. Arrangements to purchase academic regalia may be made through the Commencement Office’s website as well. Alumni Affairs and Development The Division of Alumni Affairs and Development actively encourages Cornell alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the life of the university and to assist Cornell through their volunteer services and their gifts. Their time, loyalty, and intellectual and financial resources enhance Cornell’s vitality and are critical to the achievement of Cornell’s mission to educate the leaders of tomorrow and extend the frontiers of knowledge. Cornell alumni frequently return to campus to recruit employees, to consult with faculty, to participate in professional programs sponsored by departments and colleges, and to attend three large university events: Reunion in June, Homecoming in September or October, and the annual meeting of the Cornell University Council and the Board of Trustees in October.
