More 50th birthday stories kick off this month’s column! She also had a big birthday bash in Brooklyn, NY, co-hosted by Holly White, with help from her sister, Bonnie Leff ’91. As this issue of Cornellians is released, we are about one month away from Reunion 2024! Our indefatigable Reunion chairs—Shannon Gallivan Bol, Carol Borack Copenhaver, Debbie Schaffel, and Dave Scher—have been working for months already. Menus are planned, entertainment is scheduled, housing is being finalized. And the dust is about to be blown gently off the ancient tome containing the magic sunshine spell that is always cast immediately before the planes land and the cars pull into Ithaca.
Come back to Cornell
This honor is also being awarded posthumously to another Cornellian, Alice Stoll, MS ’48, for her invention of fire-resistant fibers and fabrics. In December 2023, our very own Emma Cameron, BS ’21, fulfilled a lifelong dream by winning the title of Miss Rodeo America! She’ll be spending 2024 representing the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, logging some 50,000 miles as she travels to a variety of events and appearances around the country—including performing at nearly 100 rodeos.
Celebrating over 30 Years in the Nation's Oldest City
Breakfasts, late-night gatherings, and other activities will take place in and around Dickson. Saturday’s class dinner will be held under a tent on the new Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall plaza on North Campus. Housing is available to everyone who would like to stay on campus, as the dorms are transformed into hotels for the weekend.
University Chorus & Glee Club
Like many of you, the Sun formed the backbone of my college experience. I served consecutively as news editor, editor-in-chief, and senior editor (the paper’s best position!). Since my graduation in December, I’ve worked as a graduate fellow in Sun operations and alumni outreach. I enjoy cooking, running, and exploring Ithaca’s many natural gems, and I hope to pursue a long career in journalism and communications. I’m excited to introduce this new column, which will highlight the achievements and celebrate the lives of Sun alumni.

It’s also worth coming to see all the new buildings and other changes on the Cornell campus. Jay Waks ’68, JD ’71, his wife, Harriet, and classmate Joan Gottesman Wexler ’68 took to the sidewalks, logging nearly 2,300 miles through year-end 2023. “I enjoy my informal study of recent history and wish I would have known what I am learning now earlier in life. All of the people whom I would like to ask questions of are dead. I guess I can’t blame myself because most of us are too busy with life to appreciate what is going on (good and bad) until it is too late.

Couples’ therapist Alison Bulman recently offered sage advice to Big Red alums in a Cornellians story about mindful communication. “The key is getting to a place of compassion toward your partner. And you do that by getting curious about what it’s like to be them, putting yourself in their shoes—in other words, empathy,” she says. “The idea is to approach each other with acceptance and talk about what it’s like between us right now.
