Alvin Ailey 2007 Scholarship Fundraiser New York Knicks Fundraiser Spring 2007
In its relatively short life, the Cornell Africana Studies and Research
Center has enriched the academic, cultural, and social environments on campus. The Center’s faculty and students represent
many African nations and the full geographic range of the African diaspora. They contribute to interdisciplinary scholarship,
teaching, and life at Cornell, and play a key role in fulfilling President Jeff Lehman’s vision of Cornell as a socially,
culturally, and internationally diverse intellectual community that broadens global awareness and understanding. Renovating and expanding its physical space enables the Africana
Studies and Research Center to continue to strengthen its faculty and curricula and to expand academic collaborations across
the university. In June 2004 the Center broke ground to renovate its existing building at 310 Triphammer Road and add a 6,000-square-foot
extension. Construction is completed, and faculty and staff moved into the new facility in January 2005. The $4.5 million
building project was partially funded with a grant from Cornell University and partially through a university loan to the
Africana Center. The Center now faces the challenge of raising $1 million toward
the total cost of the project. You can play a major role in supporting the Center’s growth and advancing its efforts
to prepare students for engagement in our increasingly multicultural world. There are many naming opportunities that will
help the Center create the best teaching, learning, and research environment for faculty and students. To begin a discussion,
please contact Laurie Robinson, director of development, Cornell University, 607.254.6183, lar8@cornell.edu. “Through its courses, its distinguished professors and visitors,
and the growing body of materials in its library, the Africana Studies and Research Center has developed into one of the nation’s
most respected centers for teaching and research on African people and the peoples of the African diaspora. With its recent
renovation and expansion, ASRC can now play an even greater role in the intellectual life of Cornell while also fostering
respectful engagement among members of our broadly diverse campus community.” —JEFFREY S. LEHMAN, PRESIDENT, CORNELL UNIVERSITY Click here to learn more about the Africana Center (including naming opportunities)!
The Cornell Tradition supports lifestyles that integrate a strong work ethic,
public service, and academic achievement by rewarding students who exemplify these characteristics with recognition and financial
assistance for their education. The program encourages Tradition Fellows to unify around these common commitments and to serve
as models to their communities. The Tradition also supports the development of fellows into well-rounded, productive members
of society who, as alumni, will continue to support the program, both financially and through active involvement with those
fellows who follow in their footsteps. All Tradition Fellows must reapply each
year to remain in the program. The re-application process asks students to demonstrate how they have maintained their commitment
to paid employment, campus and/or community service, and academic achievement. For more information about the re-application
requirements, see Maintaining & Maximizing Your Tradition Fellowship. Just the Facts The Cornell Tradition was established in 1982
through an anonymous gift of $7 million. The program awards 545 fellowships each year to undergraduate students at Cornell.
