Message from the Chairs 2009
Dear Friends,
Great news! Far Above… The Campaign for Cornell has surpassed $2.5 billion, putting us closer toward our $4 billion goal. This achievement demonstrates the incomparable devotion of alumni and friends and their faith that Cornell's leadership will take Cornell to new heights. We couldn't be more enthusiastic about Cornell's future.
Since launching the campaign, Cornell has:
- Begun a sweeping new financial aid initiative that will help more students attend Cornell and graduate debt free.
- Established new professorships throughout the colleges and units.
- Created named scholarships funds for undergraduates and a number of funds to assist graduate and professional school students.
- Raised funds for new medical institutes and professorships that can advance knowledge about children’s health and cancer prevention and new treatments for Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, and more--all while advancing medical training and patient care.
The inspirational generosity of Cornell alumni and friends supplies us with great momentum going forward! These gifts have a powerful impact on our ability to attract a high-quality student body and to enhance the work of our faculty. They remind us all of Cornell's importance to the world.
Sincerely,
