Community Service
Cornell Cares Day
In January volunteers of all ages gather to work at various agencies, including the Rochester Chapter of the American Red Cross. In one year, we assembled nearly 400 kits filled with personal hygiene items, which are given to people affected by disasters. Thanks to all for giving back to our community!
Networking
​
Throughout the year, Cornell area professionals meet at local pubs for socializing and networking. In October is Zinck's Night and May Slope Day Happy Hour.
Lectures by Cornell Faculty
Founder's Day, 2017
We hold an Annual Cornell-Penn Luncheon the Monday before Thanksgiving when a distinguished Cornell or Penn faculty member enlightens the alums. In January we hold Founder's Day, and again invite a Cornellian to lecture. In 2017 Dean Mark W. Nelson entertained and enlightened alums with his vision for the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. An expert in accounting, he also explained his research on the psychological and economic factors that influence business decisions.
Student Events
April, Accepted Students' Reception
Our annual reception for accepted students and their parents attracts an impressive crowd at Oak Hill Country Club. In August, at a private home, alums greet Rochester area freshmen and transfer students to a send-off party. It provides a unique opportunity for incoming students to meet classmates before heading off to campus.
Return to Ithaca
Hockey at Lynah, Dinner at Statler
An enthusiastic group of alums and their families dine at Statler Hall Saturday evening, then trooped up to Lynah Rink to cheer on the Big Red.
