CONGRATULATIONS! The Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo welcomes you to Cornell University and our Big Red Family.

Please join us for a Freshmen and New Student Send-Off. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other incoming students, current students and local alumni. We’re excited to share everything that we love about Cornell and Ithaca with you, introducing you to our beloved institution in true Cornellian fashion. Parents are welcome—we’re sure they have lots of questions! Drinks and light food will be served!

Note: Current students are welcome to join as well to share their Big Red Wisdom from campus!
