The Cornellians print digest

What is the Cornellians digest?

To serve alumni readers who prefer to read Cornellians stories and Class Notes in a print format, we will soon introduce the Cornellians digest. Each issue will include curated content previously published online—from popular profiles to campus features, “Ask the Expert” segments, and highlights from Class Notes.

How often does the Cornellians digest come out?

Quarterly. Our first issue will be Spring 2023, mailing in April.

How long will the Cornellians digest be?

It will run approximately 96 pages, with Class Notes highlights comprising about half of each issue.

Will the Cornellians digest have content beyond what appears in the online publication?

No. The Cornellians digest is intended to accommodate alumni who prefer to receive their alumni news in a print format by presenting a selection of previous online content in print form. Readers can expect stories showcasing alumni, campus, students, University experts, Cornell history, and books, as well as highlights from Class Notes.

Why does the Cornellians digest include highlights from Class Notes rather than the entire columns? Where can I read the full columns?

Since Class Notes have gone digital, we’ve seen an explosion of submissions and engagement! While that’s something to celebrate, it also means that we’re unable to include full Class Notes columns in the Cornellians digest due to space constraints in print. However, you can read Class Notes in full—and more frequently—online. Class Notes are published online every other month, as opposed to quarterly in print.

Where does In Memoriam (the listing of alumni deaths) appear?

In Memoriam appears online, published monthly. For space reasons, we are unable to include alumni deaths in the print Cornellians digest.

How do I get an accessible version of the Cornellians digest?

Since there is no new editorial content in the Cornellians digest, we encourage readers with accessibility needs to go online to read our stories, Class Notes, and In Memoriam. We’re always working to make the Cornellians site more accessible for our entire alumni community, and we welcome your feedback on ways we can better meet your needs.
