Bear; 2. The Cornell Cheerleading Squad; and 3. The Annual Senior Athlete Banquet). Our

[12FEB2017 - A message from our President
(and Class Correspondent) Connie Ferris Meyer]
On April 17, 2017, Martha E. Pollack, will become the 14th president
of Cornell University! She was elected unanimously by Cornell's Board
of Trustees back on November 14, 2016. Pollack is provost and vice president
for academic affairs at the University of Michigan. Her areas of expertise
and responsibility over her years there are multiple and varied and most impressive. Pollack's
academic background in computer science and information science will serve the vast
Cornell community well.
Upon being elected to be the 14th president of Cornell, Pollack stated the following,
"I am humbled and honored to have been elected to lead this great university," Pollack
said. "As a private university with a public mission, Cornell is the
embodiment of my own deeply held belief in the ability of knowledge to improve the
human condition. I can't wait to get started, and I look forward to meeting
and working with Cornell's outstanding faculty, students, staff and alumni in Ithaca,
New York City and around the globe."
