Extraordinary Stories

It’s the people of Cornell who make the college one of America’s very best liberal arts colleges. And each and every contribution to the “Extraordinary Opportunities” campaign helps those people.

You know that folks on the Hilltop will benefit from the scholarships, professorships, renovated facilities and new programs of this campaign. But you need to look far beyond Mount Vernon, beyond the state of Iowa, to see all the individuals touched by your support. Look across state lines, across oceans. Look around your office and in your local coffee shop.

Far or near, your gift is an investment. In a student. And in the transformative experiences offered by a liberal arts education.
