From the President
President David J. Skorton
Dear Friends,
These are inspiring times, on East Hill and everywhere in the world where Cornell University can be found. And we want nothing less than to make Cornell the best of its kind—a beacon among the world's leading universities.
Our trajectory is set for even greater levels of achievement. Join us, and together we will ensure that in 2015, when our leaders retrace our university's history of educational innovation, discovery, and service, and look to its future, their gaze will be upward and optimistic, and their imaginations free to pursue ambitious new visions of their own unfettered by artificial boundaries.
With your help, we will allow Cornell University to stretch beyond the limits of the known, to be everything we ever dreamed it could be.
David J. Skorton
President
"By the nature of its land-grant mission, Cornell touches all the bases. I feel very passionately that if you invest in a student scholarship or a professorship, facilities, or programmatic funds at this university, it will have very positive ripple effects."
Cornell, its future, and the campaign.
