Trustee-Council Annual Meeting (TCAM)

Welcome from John Kuo ’85

Dear Council Members,

Welcome to the 70th Trustee-Council Annual Meeting, and our first online TCAM!

This year’s theme is Cornell Promise. Generations of Cornellians have received their education because of Ezra Cornell’s vision of “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” Now it is our turn to help our current students by participating in the Cornell Promise to support students, achieve academic excellence, and address social justice issues. We will have many opportunities that show our commitment to our alma mater and our current students. A few highlights include:

• TCAM Joint Annual Meeting with Bob Harrison ’76, Chairman of Cornell University Board of Trustees and John Kuo ’85, Cornell University Council Chair
• State of the University Address with President Martha E. Pollack
• Keynote with Eduardo M. Peñalver ’94, Allan R. Tessler Dean and Professor of Law, and a panel of faculty experts
• College and Unit programming featuring deans and faculty experts
• Choose your own academic journey via lifelong learning digital content
• Social online gatherings
• StayHomecoming October 9 and 10
• Cornell community event featuring special guests Dr. Anthony Fauci MD ’66 and NBC News’ Kate Snow  ’91 (pre-TCAM event)

We welcome your questions. Email Volunteer Programs at ovp@cornell.edu or phone 607-254-7115. I look forward to seeing you online in October.

Sincerely,
John Kuo ’85
Chair, Cornell University Council
