For more than half a century, Cornell\u2019s Adult University has offered summer courses on the Hill\u2014from cooking to cycling and beyond<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you miss being a student on the Hill, there\u2019s a way to revisit those days\u2014including dorm life, but minus the grades. Each summer, Cornell\u2019s Adult University\u2014which also runs faculty-led study tours<\/a> worldwide\u2014marries education and vacation, with a variety of weeklong classes<\/a> held on and around the Ithaca campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taught by Cornell faculty and open to all, the noncredit courses cover topics from cooking to standup comedy, wines to Western civ, watching birds to writing memoirs. Sporty endeavors like golf, cycling, and sailing are also covered.<\/p>\n\n\n

While some classes repeat from year to year, others offer a novel twist on a favorite subject\u2014or they explore a topic that’s new to CAU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants have the option of living in Ginsburg Hall, one of the new North Campus residences<\/a>; they can also stay at the Statler at a discounted rate, or find other local lodging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAU\u2019s summer programs began with a single course in 1968; in 2025, it will offer 19, split between two sessions in July (one starting on the 6th, the other on the 13th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrollment costs vary according to the course type and whether the participant is commuting or staying in a dorm, but they range from $1,500 to $2,425 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking is open for 2025; as of mid-February, several courses were either full with a waiting list or had only a few spots left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a sampling of some of this summer\u2019s CAU courses\u2014and then scroll down for a photographic tour of some of the offerings from years past.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavors Across the Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subtitled \u201cExploring Cultural Cuisines in American Cities,\u201d this hands-on class for all culinary skill levels is held in the recently constructed Discovery Kitchen<\/a>, located in Morrison Dining on North Campus.

Like last summer, they\u2019re teaming up<\/a> for a course focused on the University\u2019s world-class teaching collections, offering an inside look at Kroch Library\u2019s Rare and Manuscript Collections and at holdings around campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Gospel and the Blues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focused on a variety of Black music traditions of the African diaspora, the course is subtitled \u201cHow to Listen to History.\u201d It\u2019s taught by Ambre Dromgoole<\/a>, an assistant professor of Africana religions and music; she will offer deep-listening sessions, excerpted film screenings, and other activities to help students gain perspective on the music and its wider cultural role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longtime theatre professor Bruce Levitt<\/a> teaches this class on stand-up comedy and its social, political, and cultural importance. Held in the Schwartz Center, it will discuss the art form\u2019s roots from the mid-1800s onward and explore how comics serve as commentators on social, political, and cultural issues\u2014often treading a fine line between humor and offense. It will examine the work of comedians from Lenny Bruce and George Carlin to Wanda Sykes, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, and Margaret Cho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

On Origins and Identity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sending in a DNA sample for testing has become a popular way that Americans learn about their ancestry\u2014but what are the scientific and ethical implications? That\u2019s the subject of a course taught by Michell Chresfield<\/a>, an assistant professor of African American history. The class will explore the limitations of DNA testing, as well as how the technology intersects with history, justice, and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course will also contemplate the relationship between Human Ecology founders Martha Van Rensselaer and Flora Rose, who had what was known in their era as a \u201cBoston marriage\u201d\u2014a partnership between two women, financially independent of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
