6 key questions for the upcoming Sustainable Cornell Summit on Monday, Dec 8. We share Cornell’s own (disappointing) data, draw out the key issues, and note what to expect of a Sustainability Summit focused on climate action, not brand management.

Alpha Phi Alpha, the first black intercollegiate Greek lettered fraternity, was founded OTD in 1906 at #Cornell University in Ithaca, New York https://toilet-guru.com/school.html?s=mb #education #history

@Pikatchoune TIL there's an #IIHF hall of fame. And I'd count Ralph Krueger as more than 1/3 Swiss for this purpose since he's being inducted for coaching #TeamSuisse. His son Justin also played #CollegeHockey for #Cornell (and internationally for Germany) #hockey #Eishockey #HoppSchwiiz

Breaking News: Our meditation action is postponed but not diminished! Due to unforeseen circumstances 😳🤧 we are moving this unusual meditation to Friday Jan. 30, 2026 (the second week of classes).

Ring in a fossil-free New Year with us and start your spring semester on an enlightened note. We hope to see you in front of Day Hall at noon on Jan. 30th!

RSVP at link in bio. Because we deserve a fossil-free degree.

Newsletter #23 analyzes the principles revealed by Cornell’s settlement with Trump’s regime - which are diametrically opposed to the principles they claim to value in their negotiations with the local TCAT bus service.

Shout out to @cornellydsa for their pivotal activism on the Cornell-TCAT negotiations! 🔥

Thanks to everyone who attended our monthly meeting, including those not pictured!

The coalition energy in the room was electrifying (renewably).

Stay tuned for surprises in the coming weeks! 🧘🔥🪷 Hint #1: Get enlightened with us at an unusual meditation on Friday December 5, 12-1pm in front of Day Hall...

Huge thanks to our venue host, St Luke Lutheran Church! ❤️

THANK YOU!

🐕⚓ A dive into the #maritime #history of #Newfoundland #dogs. These gentle giants still practice #water rescue and cart pulling skills their ancestors used on 19th-century ships.

Researchers at #Cornell University explain how the dogs' physical adaptations – webbed feet, waterproof coats, and powerful builds – made them ideal working #animals for #fishing vessels, more economical than #horses and capable of both water rescue and hauling heavy loads to market.

Cornell on Fire Faculty Fellow Anthony Ingraffea recently presented on Cornell's (lack of) climate action to an engineering class. 🔥

Catch up on what you missed: here are the four key highlights!

Call on Big Red to do better (much better) by signing the climate demands to Cornell at link in bio.

Lesson 1: Cornell has so far failed to deliver on every major initiative to reduce its carbon emissions. (Contra CU's official narrative)

Lesson 2: Cornell's power plant did NOT reduce carbon emissions by switching from coal to natural gas. (Contra CU's official narrative.)

A asphalt foot path heads up from the center and joins one running left to right, way at the top a clock tower towers next to a stone building with windows visible under a birm and the peak of sage chapel surrounded by medium sized trees

Strange concrete sculptures circa 1960 near that big cluster of trees in the Arboretum

About 40% from the left are concrete pillars rising out of a pad with top-heavy structures on top, this is in the middle of close-cut grass with reddish trees on the edge of the field to the left and a bright yellow one far away near the center with greenish trees behind that and something brown or red to the right

My mother is incredible.

We like to joke that she is a model #immigrant:
- She came to the #US fleeing from the war in #Ukraine, with no further plan besides getting to me and my husband in at least temporary safety.

- We had to run a crowdfunding campaign to help her and the kids sustain themselves as they waited for their #TPS immigration paperwork to process.

- Once her work authorization came through, she somehow managed to get a job as faculty at #Cornell - and started their #Ukrainian program, teaching the language and Ukrainian history for the first time in the university’s curriculum.

- Now she’s been accepted to academic conferences, publications, and has joined the board of the refugee support organization in #Ithaca that helped her get settled there herself.

I’m so proud of her. Y’all should read this article, it’s pretty good: https://www.ithacawelcomesrefugees.org/giving-from-abundance-krystynas-journey-to-becoming-an-iwr-board-member/
