Contribute Content to Cornellians Cornellians is your alumni publication—and we want you to be part of it! Alumni suggestions and contributions are essential to our site, and there are many ways you can participate. Suggest a story topic or alumni profile subject Please submit suggestions to cornellians@cornell.edu. Summarize your idea in a few sentences and explain why you think it would be a good fit for Cornellians. We regret that we can only feature a small fraction of the many accomplishments of Big Red alumni with story and profile coverage, but topics not chosen will be considered for other appropriate sections. Share your perspective with a personal essay in ‘Chime In’ “Chime In” is a venue for brief first-person essays by members of the Cornell community on a variety of topics. Do you have an idea for an essay of 500–800 words—about your time on the Hill, a memorable experience as an alum, or some other aspect of daily life, family, work, and more? Email us at cornellians@cornell.edu. Please note that if selected, contributors will be asked to provide images to accompany their essays; topics not chosen can be forwarded to Class Notes for mention in a future column. Suggest a topic for ‘Ask the Expert’ or ‘6 Questions For …’ Cornell has a wealth of expertise among its faculty and alumni. Is there a topic you’d like us to address in one of our sections that offer expert advice and insights? Email us at cornellians@cornell.edu. Pitch a story for ‘Bear Hugs’ “Bear Hugs” celebrates heartwarming stories, tales of alumni connection, and more. Do you have an idea that showcases Cornellians helping Cornellians, Big Red ties across generations, or a similarly feel-good topic? Email us at cornellians@cornell.edu. Topics not chosen can be forwarded to Class Notes for mention in a future column. Suggest a theme for a crossword puzzle or trivia quiz Our quizzes and puzzles take a lighthearted approach to sharing knowledge about Big Red alumni, history, and traditions. If you have an idea for one—or if you’re interested in becoming one of our alumni crossword makers!—email us at cornellians@cornell.edu. Submit your book for inclusion in our monthly section To submit your book for consideration, email cornellians@cornell.edu.

Notify the University of an alumni death Please submit notification—including an obituary, if possible—to the University at cubio-deceased@cornell.edu. Once the University records an alumni death in its database, the relevant information is forwarded to Cornellians for inclusion in a future In Memoriam section. The section is updated on the first of each month, and deaths are generally listed three to four months after the University receives notice.
