Twice per semester, Cornell specialists from a variety of arenas will discuss timely and helpful topics that touch us all, as well as share related resources. Presentations are free and will be delivered in-person and via Zoom.- November 6, 4:40-6:30pm, Big Red Barn: Winter Clothing Swap

Director's pick of the month:
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)
- Along with the broader university, our college recognizes October as DVAM. We take a stand against domestic violence, and underscore New York State’s “Go Purple Day”, which will take place on October 16th this year.
- Domestic violence is often thought of as a private relationship issue. However, its impact extends broadly and domestic violence has implications that touch all corners of our campus community.
