In 2011, President Skorton issued a challenge to Cornell's Greek community to "end pledging as we know it," in particular referring to the eradication of hazing and other high-risk behaviors sometimes associated with those unacceptable traditions. Concluding a year-long process that included work by the RARE (Recruitment, Acceptance, Retention, and Education) task force, Cornell's Greek system, one of the largest in the country with 66 chapters, will begin the process of transformative change in January of 2013. With the goal of preserving all that is positive about the Greek experience, January will mark the beginning of a transition to a "new member orientation and total development" model.

Mortar Board Senior Honor Society is pleased to present Professor Jefferson Cowie's "Last Lecture." Each semester, Mortar Board invites a distinguished faculty or staff member to address the Cornell community and present their hypothetical "last lecture." This semester, through his "last lecture," Professor Cowie offers his thoughts on the meaning and purpose of higher education in an age of rising inequality. Jefferson Cowie, a professor of history in the ILR School, has received a number of awards for his teaching and scholarship. He just completed a four year term as House Professor and Dean at William Keeton House, where he lived with his family and three hundred undergraduates. His most recent book, Stayin' Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class , was awarded the Francis Parkman Prize for the best book in American history. In addition to his scholarship, his essays and opinion pieces have appeared in the New York Times, the New Republic, Dissent, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and other popular outlets.

Tracking a Long-Distance Migrant

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 05:00:00 11/28/12
The international migrations of arctic-breeding shorebirds pose complex and often daunting challenges to conservationists. With many species flying well over 10,000 miles each year, shorebirds depend on a string of hospitable sites between their arctic breeding grounds and their winter quarters in far reaches of the southern hemisphere. Throughout the year, a single individual will interact with a broad array of habitats, people, and policies, so protecting these species requires an international resolve to preserve crucial habitats. Studying a species' movements to uncover key sites in the migratory pathway is a critical first step towards conservation, and this project aims to do just that. The film follows our fieldwork in subarctic Canada, where we've tagged 25 Whimbrels with geolocation devices to follow their movements. We'll be back in the summer of 2013 to retrieve the geolocators and see where they've been carried over the past year.
