Each year, a small group of devoted Cornellians is recognized with the Frank H.T. Rhodes Exemplary Alumni Service Award. The honor, which goes to long-term volunteers who have dedicated themselves to a variety of Big Red alumni causes, is bestowed on a maximum of six people annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The award is, of course, named for Cornell\u2019s ninth president<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhodes\u2014who passed away<\/a> in 2020 at age 93\u2014was a beloved figure who retained close ties to the University and its alumni long after retiring with the title of president emeritus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornell\u2019s leader from 1977\u201395 (as well as a noted geologist, paleontologist, and Darwin scholar), Rhodes was the longest-serving president in the Ivy League when he stepped down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, almost half of the Big Red\u2019s nearly 123,000 living undergrad alumni had attended while he was in office.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

The award in his honor was established in 1994\u2014and for numerous years afterward, he and wife Rosa attended the celebration where it was presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a look at the 2025 winners:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doris Goudsmit Albert \u201957<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Albert\u2019s volunteer leadership began around her 30th Reunion, when she took charge of displays and memorabilia\u2014putting together scrapbooks of items alumni brought back to show off from their school days. She quickly became known for her dedication, always arriving on campus several days early to help with setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Doris

\n

\u201cYou just get in the groove with everybody else that does the same kind of thing,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s neat, because you can see what\u2019s going on and what other classes are doing before you have to be totally busy with your own stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert is also a member of the Continuous Reunion Club, which she has found to be a chance to sit back and enjoy the event rather than focusing on planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a University Council member for 12 years and has been a Class of \u201957 council member for decades\u2014with roles ranging from nominating chair to class president, as well as Reunion chair three times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

Her second time chairing Reunion was for her class\u2019s milestone 50th, something she doesn\u2019t think she could have done the first time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge job, and being Reunion chair for the 50th is much bigger than the others,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are many more people who come, many who come for the first time in 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Elisabeth Kaplan Boas \u201971<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always volunteered for Cornell,\u201d Boas says. \u201cI don\u2019t remember a time I did not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Big Red connections began long before she ever set foot on campus as a student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

She grew up attending Reunion with her parents, Alan Kaplan \u201944 and Erna Fox Kaplan \u201945, BS \u201944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In high school, she helped ghost-write a Cornell Alumni News<\/em> women\u2019s column for her mother and assisted her father with paperwork for the Secondary Schools Committee, which later morphed into the Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was happy to pitch in, she says, because \u201cthat was the rule in our family. Everybody did what they could for the sake of the whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Elisabeth

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

Boas is currently the class correspondent for the Class of \u201971, secretary for the Cornell Club of Washington, and a University Council life member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she likes to visibly represent her alma mater wherever she is in the world: she has a red car, red clothes, and red shoes, and has been lovingly described as a walking, talking Cornell mascot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says Boas: \u201cThere are so many ways to make a difference, to belong, to help make the University community welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Mary Jansen Everett \u201966 & Robert Everett \u201965<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the Everetts, an introduction at a fraternity cocktail party 62 years ago led not only to a lifetime together, but to over six decades of connecting Cornellians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin two minutes of meeting her,\u201d Bob recalls, \u201cI knew this woman was special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mary

\n

Since graduating, the two have attended a combined 24 Reunions, and Mary has dedicated herself to the Class of \u201966. As networking chair, she has spent countless hours searching for\u2014and successfully finding\u2014alumni who had fallen off the radar, and linking them back with their classmates and the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Everetts\u2019 mutual passion for athletics dovetailed with their commitment to Cornell when, in the mid-1970s, Bob\u2014along with Jay Carter \u201971, MEng \u201972\u2014helped canvas high school coaches in Westchester County, NY, to uncover top athletes who could play at an Ivy level.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

The result: Big Red coaches could concentrate on recruiting at 10 local schools rather than 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of their children (Liz Everett Krisberg \u201997 and Cate Everett, MMH \u201919) also attended Cornell; they, their parents, and other relatives banded together to create the position of Everett Family Head Coach of Women\u2019s Ice Hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From September through March\u2014the women\u2019s hockey season\u2014Bob and Mary drive throughout the country to attend every game, and Mary\u2019s famous Thursday cookie deliveries (eight to 10 dozen weekly!) have become a cherished tradition for \u201ctheir girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just giving money,\u201d Mary emphasizes. \u201cIt\u2019s being involved, getting to know them, helping them. I say we receive the best gift of all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Robert Harrison \u201976<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Harrison accepted his offer of admission, he couldn\u2019t have known how that decision would shape the next five decades of his life. From student trustee to chair of the Board of Trustees, he has helped guide Cornell through some of its most defining moments in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a Cornellian, he says, \u201cturned out to be the single biggest, best decision that I ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Harrison joined his class\u2019s Reunion committee for his 5th, and hasn\u2019t missed a Reunion yet. He co-chaired his 25th Reunion campaign committee and will co-chair again for his 50th in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond his class responsibilities, he served on the board of directors of Sigma Phi beginning in the 1990s. Not long after, he was asked to join the University Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2002, the then-chair of the Board of Trustees, Harold Tanner \u201952, called to ask if he would like to run as an alumni-elected trustee. Harrison went on to serve as a board-elected trustee before being elected chair in 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Robert
cornell university<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

In his 22 years on the board, he chaired the Executive Committee and the student life committee, oversaw the creation of Cornell Tech, helped with the formation of the Johnson College of Business, played a key role in five presidential transitions, and guided residential life initiatives\u2014including the launch of the West Campus housing system and North Campus expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing able to contribute as a member of the Board of Trustees and then being able to chair the board was an incredible honor and a privilege,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause it allowed me to have a real impact on the University.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Lisa Kremer Ullmann \u201981<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved being at Cornell. I loved the people I met, the energy of the school,\u201d Ullmann says. \u201cThere was never a dull moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She met her husband, Michael Ullmann \u201980, when they were both history majors. They had some classes together, went on one date, and kept in touch. (Six years after graduation, they began dating in earnest when Lisa moved to NYC.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\"Lisa
provided<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n

Her Cornell volunteer career began at her 5th Reunion, where she joined in class fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That early involvement has spun into eight Reunions, and sparked what would become nearly 45 years of continuous service. One of her favorite activities has been organizing Red Hot Hockey \/ Frozen Apple tickets for the Class of \u201981 since the event\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ullmann is particularly passionate about her involvement with the President\u2019s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW). She served as vice chair for four years and headed the development committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI have really loved being part of PCCW,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s such a dynamic group of women, such interesting people with different interests and backgrounds and passions\u2014not dissimilar to why I loved being at Cornell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ullmann splits her time between Princeton, NJ, and Florida. Her involvement with the Cornell Club of Southwest Florida began serendipitously, during an afternoon run in Naples in October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI ran in my neighborhood and saw Cornell flags on a lawn,\u201d she recalls. \u201cHere I am\u2014sweaty running\u2014I went and knocked on this door, and they were having Zinck\u2019s Night!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
