It's hard to believe that we're nearly a month into the spring semester. It is wonderful seeing our students and staff around campus taking part in the transformative events and opportunities our teams have to offer from special Cornell Dining meals, to events hosted by Campus Activities, and cheering our Big Red student-athletes.
In the newsletter below, take a moment to read news from around the division, celebrate and welcome our new team members, and check out resources for yourselves and to share with students. SCL Staff Newsletters are sent in the middle of every month. If you have something you'd like to share, please let us know!
