Cornell University’s campus is beautiful, large, and hilly. CAU’s residence hall, parking, and dining facility are one-third of a mile or slightly more from most classroom buildings over hilly terrain. Since you’ll walk back and forth from class each day, please give yourself plenty of time and bring comfortable shoes! We’re confident you’ll enjoy these strolls is your mobility is good. However, if you are uncertain or if you anticipate problems walking, you can ride the TCAT bus using a complimentary bus pass, purchase a Red Runner shuttle pass by contacting CAU, drive your car onto campus and park at a Park Mobile location, or order an accessible parking permit for Central Campus.

Each car on campus must have a parking permit. The Appel parking lot is the designated move-in lot only. Parking is free on Sundays though so you will not be issued a ticket upon arrival on Sunday afternoon or evening at check-in if you do not have a permit.

Permits for accessible parking spaces are only available for purchase in person at the Transportation Services Building (116 Maple Avenue Ithaca NY 14850) between 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The TCAT bus is also a wonderful way to make your way around campus and to sites around town. Participants who wish to ride the TCAT bus will be provided with a free bus pass. TCAT #81 will pick up participants every 15 minutes in front of Robert Purcell Community Center (RPCC), at the intersection of Cradit Farm Road and Pleasant Grove Road, and in front of Helen Newman Hall every 15 minutes to take participants to classes along East Ave and Tower Road. Bus #81 will pick up participants along Tower Road and East Ave and take them back to north campus every 15 minutes.

Faculty:
Ivan Sagel, Director and Senior Instructor of the Merril Sailing Center

The sailing course is located at the Cornell Merrill Family Sailing Center, 1000 East Shore Dr., which is also State Route 34 North towards Lansing. The middle of the lake reaches depths over 500ft, but off the sailing center, the water is roughly 15ft deep. On the water, we are provided with various sailing conditions, and the balance of conditions provides a tremendous natural arena for us. Northerly winds are typically steady, bringing 2-3ft waves rolling down the lake. It’s a great condition for straight-line speed and tuning. Southerly winds generate flat water & shifty conditions, something we see at many other college venues. Easterly winds are rare because of the general weather patterns. Westerly winds create dynamic sailing conditions due to the local typography featuring high hills.

For 55 years, CAU has been creating the "Best. Summer. Ever." for alumni, family, and friends on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York. Now, as you are about to embark on your own "Best. Summer. Ever," start your learning adventure with a history lesson about how this legendary program grew from an earnest dream (pun intended, for those of you who already know this cherished tale) into the vibrant, full-scale experience you are about to share with participants from all over the world.

CAU is celebrating 55 years of learning! It’s 2023, and many of the trends of the 1970s like bell bottoms are back in style! Fondue restaurants are popping up in chic cities again. Throwback Atari games can be downloaded for your iPhone. And of course, kids are still solving Rubik’s cubes in record speed.

As trends come and go, one thing never goes out of style: learning at CAU! Some might think that learning in the ’70s was a much different experience than it is today. Back then, you had to rely on textbooks, encyclopedias, and lectures to get your information. Fast forward to today, and learning looks much different. You can search the internet and even have artificial intelligence (AI) do the thinking for you. But even with all the advances in technology, there are still some similarities between learning in the ’70s and learning today.

Learning today is the same as it was in the ’70s in the sense that, no matter the era, some students will find themselves dozing off in class. In the ’70s, students may have been caught snoozing in geometry, while today's students may be found snoozing in AP Calculus. Seriously though, going to class, engaging in learning through discussions, active learning, and exchanges within your classmates and professors is a timeless classic.

Active engagement is a necessity for learning and gaining knowledge, while styles come and go with the changing times. CAU has been providing the opportunity for deep, rich lifelong learning since 1968, and CAU’s fundamental mission has remained steadfast and steady.

Whether you're interested in taking a course in art history, mastering a new skill, or exploring the world of finance, CAU has something for you. CAU classes are taught by world renowned professors, and CAU faculty are passionate about their work and dedicated to the art of lifelong learning.

With a variety of topics and classes, you’ll be sure to find something that piques your interest. Discover the power of learning. We are thrilled you will be with us this summer to share the experience that so many before us have loved and cherished. At CAU, learning never goes out of style!

What was happening in the world while CAU hosted the first CAU Summer in 1968? Lots! In sports news, Billie Jean King won the Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles tennis competition and the United States brought home 107 medals in the Olympic Games in Mexico City! (Who can forget seeing the Fosbury Flop for the first time?!) Charlene Mitchell became the first Black woman to run for president, and Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey was leading Republican Richard M. Nixon in the polls by 46% to 35%.

And here in Ithaca? CAU launched the first CAU Summer with one week-long residential course! Over the next ten years, CAU Summer grew to five or six courses each week for four weeks In 1973, CAU was among the first American universities to offer alumni, family, and friends the chance to travel together with Cornell faculty who are specialized in each destination. In 1980, CAU led its first tour to China—a huge milestone—Over the years, CAU grew from offering weekend birding excursions with Cornell ornithologists to making it possible for you to learn on location around the globe with acclaimed scholars, You’ve been traveling with CAU ever since!

Fifty-five years later, CAU is still focused on providing vibrant, engaging, faculty-driven content for people who are smart, active, curious, and driven to learn more. Like you! So far in 2023, CAU participants have experienced Egypt, Hawaii, and Greece with leading Cornell faculty. To learn more about traveling with Cornell faculty in 2023 and 2024, go here .

Everything you need to know about CAU Summer social and educational offerings, staying on campus, getting to campus, what to do in your free time, and more!

From a Broadway-filled weekend in NYC, to an Antarctica cruise with Cornell scientists, CAU keeps learning with you. In addition to CAU Summer, CAU offers domestic and international study tours and subject-specific seminars.
