These pieces span video, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. They are united by explorations of the individual / human relationship to events happening on a planetary scale. Drawing on folklore and craft, these artists investigate the cyclical nature of contemporary issues, including ecological collapse, the rise of AI and other technology, and war. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>Decoding Myeloid Cell States in Kidney Transplant Rejection</p>

<p>We generated a single-cell meta-atlas of kidney transplant biopsies to define myeloid cell diversity across antibody-mediated and T cell-mediated rejection, identifying distinct transcriptional programs in tissue-resident and monocyte-derived macrophages associated with each rejection phenotype. We further found that tissue-resident macrophages comprise both donor- and recipient-derived populations, with recipient-derived resident macrophages exhibiting rejection-associated transcriptomic features that suggest a potential role in shaping local allograft inflammation.</p>

<p>Defining the Stress–Gut Microbiome Interplay in Anti-Tumor B Cell Response</p>

<p>Chronic stress drives tumor progression by activating a gut microbiota–dependent, phage-mediated circuit that suppresses anti-tumor B cell immunity. We identify a translocating bacterium whose DNA triggers TLR9 in tumor fibroblasts to induce local corticosterone, revealing a targetable pathway to restore B cell responses and improve cancer outcomes.</p>

<p>Speaker:</p>

<p>Dr. Shawn Ferguson, Ph.D.</p>

<p>Professor of Cell Biology and of Neuroscience</p>

<p>Yale School of Medicine</p>

<p>Ferguson's research defines fundamental mechanisms through which lysosome functions adapt to changes in cellular demand. Building on insights from human genetics and disease pathology, his lab has furthermore identified how dysfunctions in the endolysosomal pathway contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.</p>

<p>The Cell Biology Hub at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology is a collaborative network of researchers united by a shared goal: to uncover how cells build, organize, and adapt themselves to sustain life. We bring together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty across the Institute who study the architecture and dynamics of cells — from cytoskeletal remodeling and organelle biogenesis to signaling, membrane trafficking, and tissue morphogenesis.</p>

<p>Graph Similarity: Concepts, Methods, and Challenges</p>

<p>Graph similarity plays a central role in network analysis, pattern recognition, and algorithmic data science. This talk provides a unified perspective on key concepts, methodological approaches, and computational challenges inherent in comparing complex graph structures.</p>

<p>We will discuss structural approaches, covering both distance-based techniques (e.g., graph edit distance) and isomorphism-based methods via subgraph search, alongside embedding-based techniques derived from the Weisfeiler–Leman refinement. A central theme of the talk is how algorithm engineering can bridge the gap between theoretical difficulty and practical applicability, enabling similarity computations on large and complex graph data.
<br> </p>

<p>Bio: Petra Mutzel is professor of computational analytics at the University of Bonn, where she is also the scientific director of the High Performance Computing and Analytics Lab at the Digital Science Center. She received her Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Cologne in 1994, followed by a postdoc position at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken and by professorships at the Vienna University of Technology from 2000 to 2004 and TU Dortmund University from 2004 to 2019.</p>

<p>Her research focuses on algorithm engineering, algorithmic data analysis, and combinatorial optimization for graphs. Currently, the main application areas are in geodesy, cheminformatics, and brain networks. She currently serves, or has previously served, on the Steering Committees of ESA, ALENEX, and WALCOM, as well as on the Editorial Boards of the ACM Journal on Experimental Algorithmics, Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA), and Mathematical Programming Computation (MPC).

Thesis: The Waves Which Have Kept Me From Reaching You at Olive Tjaden Gallery</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Five B.F.A. students from the graduating class of 2026 come together to exhibit select work from their thesis year. These pieces span video, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. They are united by explorations of the individual / human relationship to events happening on a planetary scale. Drawing on folklore and craft, these artists investigate the cyclical nature of contemporary issues, including ecological collapse, the rise of AI and other technology, and war. </p>

<p>Come celebrate at our closing reception on Friday, May 22, in Olive Tjaden Gallery!</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Learn about both disability-related and non-disability-related barriers that can affect how students engage with lecture material, and how applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles can support all students in accessing what they need to learn.</p>

The topic will be Climate Change and Aging, and will be presented by Dr. Karl Pillemer.</p>

<p>“Climate Change in an Aging World”</p>

<p>Environmental challenges are increasing as the world faces the negative consequences of global climate change. However, little attention has been paid to the enormous threat climate change poses to the health and well-being of the rapidly expanding older population. This lecture explores two key issues in the intersection of aging and climate change. First, older adults are especially vulnerable to extreme heat and climate-related disasters, yet planning for their unique needs has been minimal  Second, older persons constitute a critially important source of solutions to environmental problems.

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

<p>Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm</p>

<p>Location: 123 Lake Street, Cooperstown, NY</p>

<p>Event Description: Herbs and spices are more than just culinary enhancements or seasonal flowers in the garden. These potent, fragrant plants have earned their rightful places in the home apothecary, bath, and boudoir as well as in many household applications. If you are interested in growing and using herbs, join herbalist Gert Coleman to discover what herbs will grow in your space and sun and what to do with them.  </p>

<p>Herbal educator, writer, gardener, editor, and herb enthusiast, Gert Coleman loves, grows, eats, and reads avidly about herbs. Retired professor of English, she lives on 100+ acres in Central New York, growing herbs, flowers, trees, and at-risk native plants with her husband and dog. As an herbal educator, she teaches humorous and informative programs for all ages at parks, museums, and conferences; helped maintain a 70' x 70' colonial herb garden for 3 decades; apprenticed with Rosemary Gladstar; compiled and edited five Herb of the Year™ books; and writes about the legends, lore, and poetry of herbs.  In addition, she teaches workshops on nature writing in the wild places of New York and beyond.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>All in Cornell Community are welcome</p>

<p>Hosted by Cornell Work/Life and Faculty Staff Assistance Program (FSAP)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Not all grief comes from losing a person. In a world shifting faster than we can process, many of us are carrying quieter, less‑acknowledged forms of loss that can go unnamed. Perhaps you feel something in this moment and want to explore your experience of loss of certainty, of stability, of connection, of community. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop, facilitated by Jennelle Lijlestrand from FSAP, will create a space to name, explore, and normalize these forms of “hidden loss.” Through guided reflection and discussion, participants will learn to recognize and understand the emotions that arise in times of unsettling change. By tuning into what those feelings are signaling, attendees will identify self‑care strategies and supportive practices that genuinely meet their needs.  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Whether you're navigating fractured relationships, workplace changes or the uncertainty of a volatile world, this gathering offers a compassionate pause. We will have space to acknowledge what’s heavy, deepen our own emotional awareness, and reconnect with what’s steady so you can find tools for moving forward with resilience.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Jennelle Liljestrand has served as a counselor for the Cornell Faculty &amp; Staff since August 2025, offering clinical services to individuals and couples and leading the Grief Group at FSAP. Jennelle holds a Master's in Social Work from Smith (2013) and previously practiced in diverse private and public settings in Munich, Germany.  Jennelle considers herself an integrative therapist, pulling from several theories and methods, and is eager to support our Cornell Community as they navigate hidden losses.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Thesis: The Waves Which Have Kept Me From Reaching You at Olive Tjaden Gallery</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Five B.F.A. students from the graduating class of 2026 come together to exhibit select work from their thesis year. These pieces span video, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. They are united by explorations of the individual / human relationship to events happening on a planetary scale. Drawing on folklore and craft, these artists investigate the cyclical nature of contemporary issues, including ecological collapse, the rise of AI and other technology, and war. </p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>This 8-week course is designed to introduce 4-H members to Dog Obedience &amp; Rally Training using positive reinforcement training techniques. Participants and their dogs will meet weekly in a group setting with ABC Certified Dog Trainer, Beth Pysnack at her training facility inside the Fingerlakes Mall in Auburn. However, the majority of the training is expected to take place at home where youth practice these skills with their pups every day.</p>

<p>More information and resources, including our Cayuga County 4-H Dog Obedience Guide can be found here.</p>

<p>Meet &amp; Greet
<br>Before the course starts, new participants and their dogs are required to attend a “Meet &amp; Greet” Session on Wednesday, May 27th starting at 5 pm. Each participant will be scheduled for their own 15 minute session. </p>

<p>Participants will be divided into appropriate class-levels based on age and experience. Beginners are 4-Hers who have not completed any 4-H dog obedience classes or are under 10 yrs. old. Advanced participants will have successfully completed at least one 4-H dog obedience course. Anyone unsure of which class is appropriate to their child should contact the office to discuss.</p>

<p>Dogs must be at least 6 months of age and controllable in order to be used in dog obedience classes. This will be determined at the discretion of the instructor and/or 4-H Educator.</p>

<p>Classes
<br>Classes will be held Wednesday beginning May 27th until July 22nd. 
<br>Beginner Level: 5:00 pm – 5:45 pm
<br>Advanced Level: 6:00 pm –6:45 pm</p>

<p>Classes are held at Bark by Beth in the Finger Lakes Mall. The training facility is located beside the Bingo hall and is covered by large purple curtains. 
<br>Please bring high value training treats to motivate your pup. Water and cleanup bags are also a good idea to travel with. Participants should be prepared to clean up after their dog if necessary, especially if walking in the mall. Dogs need to have a slip collar, nightingale collar, or flat collar and a six foot lead.
<br>Per NYS 4-H dog policy, a parent or guardian attend and stay for all classes, regardless of the youth’s age.</p>

<p>Graduation
<br>Youth are required to attend all dog obedience classes, unless there is a family emergency or illness. As such, if a youth misses more than 2 classes, they will not be eligible to graduate from the course.
<br>After months of working with their dogs in obedience training, participants with put their proficiency to a test at a 4-H Dog Show (July 22). Top scorers at the county level will be chosen to represent at the NYS 4-H Dog Show in Syracuse in August.</p>

<p>Other Important Information</p>

<p>Payment:
<br>Cost of the course is $10 for 4-H members and $30 for non-members. Non-members will automatically be enrolled in the Cayuga County 4-H Program.
<br>Payment is due at the Meet &amp; Greet.</p>

<p>NYS 4-H Dog Policy
<br>Participants must provide a copy of current Rabies vaccination before the Meet &amp; Greet.
<br>      -Acceptable proof of Rabies vaccination is a rabies certificate or a copy of the dog license that contains the rabies vaccination information. 
<br>     - Acceptable proof of Rabies vaccination must include the signature of the veterinarian, the name of the product used, the date of administration and the duration of immunity.</p>

<p>Any aggressive dog(s) will not be allowed to participate in the program and will be asked to leave class immediately. </p>

<p>A dog in season (in “heat”) must not be brought to 4-H events including Dog Obedience classes, the Cayuga County 4-H Youth Fair or the NYS Dog Show.</p>

Thesis: The Waves Which Have Kept Me From Reaching You at Olive Tjaden Gallery</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Five B.F.A. students from the graduating class of 2026 come together to exhibit select work from their thesis year. These pieces span video, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. They are united by explorations of the individual / human relationship to events happening on a planetary scale. Drawing on folklore and craft, these artists investigate the cyclical nature of contemporary issues, including ecological collapse, the rise of AI and other technology, and war. </p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026.

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>This 8-week course is designed to introduce 4-H members to Dog Obedience &amp; Rally Training using positive reinforcement training techniques. Participants and their dogs will meet weekly in a group setting with ABC Certified Dog Trainer, Beth Pysnack at her training facility inside the Fingerlakes Mall in Auburn. However, the majority of the training is expected to take place at home where youth practice these skills with their pups every day.</p>

<p>More information and resources, including our Cayuga County 4-H Dog Obedience Guide can be found here.</p>

<p>Meet &amp; Greet
<br>Before the course starts, new participants and their dogs are required to attend a “Meet &amp; Greet” Session on Wednesday, May 27th starting at 5 pm. Each participant will be scheduled for their own 15 minute session. </p>

<p>Participants will be divided into appropriate class-levels based on age and experience. Beginners are 4-Hers who have not completed any 4-H dog obedience classes or are under 10 yrs. old. Advanced participants will have successfully completed at least one 4-H dog obedience course. Anyone unsure of which class is appropriate to their child should contact the office to discuss.</p>

<p>Dogs must be at least 6 months of age and controllable in order to be used in dog obedience classes. This will be determined at the discretion of the instructor and/or 4-H Educator.</p>

<p>Classes
<br>Classes will be held Wednesday beginning May 27th until July 22nd. 
<br>Beginner Level: 5:00 pm – 5:45 pm
<br>Advanced Level: 6:00 pm –6:45 pm</p>

<p>Classes are held at Bark by Beth in the Finger Lakes Mall. The training facility is located beside the Bingo hall and is covered by large purple curtains. 
<br>Please bring high value training treats to motivate your pup. Water and cleanup bags are also a good idea to travel with. Participants should be prepared to clean up after their dog if necessary, especially if walking in the mall. Dogs need to have a slip collar, nightingale collar, or flat collar and a six foot lead.
<br>Per NYS 4-H dog policy, a parent or guardian attend and stay for all classes, regardless of the youth’s age.</p>

<p>Graduation
<br>Youth are required to attend all dog obedience classes, unless there is a family emergency or illness. As such, if a youth misses more than 2 classes, they will not be eligible to graduate from the course.
<br>After months of working with their dogs in obedience training, participants with put their proficiency to a test at a 4-H Dog Show (July 22). Top scorers at the county level will be chosen to represent at the NYS 4-H Dog Show in Syracuse in August.</p>

<p>Other Important Information</p>

<p>Payment:
<br>Cost of the course is $10 for 4-H members and $30 for non-members. Non-members will automatically be enrolled in the Cayuga County 4-H Program.
<br>Payment is due at the Meet &amp; Greet.</p>

<p>NYS 4-H Dog Policy
<br>Participants must provide a copy of current Rabies vaccination before the Meet &amp; Greet.
<br>      -Acceptable proof of Rabies vaccination is a rabies certificate or a copy of the dog license that contains the rabies vaccination information. 
<br>     - Acceptable proof of Rabies vaccination must include the signature of the veterinarian, the name of the product used, the date of administration and the duration of immunity.</p>

<p>Any aggressive dog(s) will not be allowed to participate in the program and will be asked to leave class immediately. </p>

<p>A dog in season (in “heat”) must not be brought to 4-H events including Dog Obedience classes, the Cayuga County 4-H Youth Fair or the NYS Dog Show.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery.

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<br>WEILL HALL – CORNELL UNIVERSITY – ITHACA, NY</p>

<p>REGISTRATION: LIVE </p>

<p>Registration Deadline: May 15 </p>

<p>Abstract Deadline (Talks): CLOSED </p>

<p>Abstract Deadline (Posters): May 15 </p>

<p>The Mechanobiology Hub Summer Symposium will bring together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and other trainees from Cornell University and neighboring institutions to strengthen and expand our regional mechanobiology community. Rooted in the Hub’s mission, the symposium is designed to connect researchers across disciplines, scales, and systems who share an interest in how mechanical forces shape biology and disease.</p>

<p>The symposium will provide an opportunity to learn about ongoing mechanobiology research spanning cell and molecular biophysics to tissue and organ mechanics, with applications in development, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal biology, cancer, and beyond, highlight shared technologies and expertise, and spark new collaborations and initiatives.</p>

<p>Above all, this meeting aims to build community: to create space for conversation, discovery, and the exchange of ideas among established investigators, early-career researchers, and trainees. By bringing together diverse perspectives in a collegial setting, we hope to identify new opportunities to strengthen the local mechanobiology community, increase its visibility, and to foster the cross-disciplinary partnerships needed to accelerate discovery and innovation in mechanobiology.</p>

<p>🌟 ANNOUNCING KEYNOTE SPEAKER 🌟</p>

<p>Dr. Amy E. Shyer, Ph.D., Associate Professor, The Rockefeller University: Dr. Shyer heads the Laboratory of Morphogenesis and studies the mechanical forces and molecular cues that guide tissue formation in the developing embryo.</p>

<p>Date: Thursday, April 22, 2026 </p>

<p>Time: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm</p>

<p>Location: ZOOM</p>

<p>Event Description: The Master Gardener Volunteers of Cornell Cooperative Extension Schoharie and Otsego Counties invite local gardeners to take part in a simple but meaningful initiative: the Grow a Row Program.</p>

<p>The idea is straightforward. If you grow fruits or vegetables in your home garden, on a farm, or through a community garden, consider planting one extra “row” specifically to donate to local food pantries. That one additional row can help provide fresh, nutritious produce to neighbors in our community who may be experiencing food insecurity.</p>

<p>Getting involved is easy. When planning your garden, simply designate an extra row or a portion of your harvest to donate. Throughout the season, harvest that produces and delivers it to a nearby food pantry.</p>

<p>Learn more about becoming a Grower for this program at this virtual informational program.</p>

<p>Demographic Information:</p>

<p>Please know that information about race, gender, and ethnicity is collected during program/event registration and participation to help us better understand what demographics are being reached by CCE programming, and if there are gaps in how our programs reach all people throughout the community.  While we are required to gather information about our participation reach response from participants is optional.  Note that responses will be kept confidential.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

<p>Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County will host a workshop on energy efficiency and renewable energy on Thursday, May 28, 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Stefano’s Pizzeria in Mexico, NY. The event will have three presenters from CCE Tompkins who support farms across NY State with information and resources to help them make informed decisions about energy use. They will cover the energy assessment process, small-scale wind energy to supply on-farm needs, as well as discussions about solar development and opportunities for co-locating agriculture with solar ("agrivoltaics"). </p>

<p>Gabriel Gurley, Ag Energy NY Program Manager, will cover how to maximize the energy efficiency of your farm operations. In this case, both energy-efficient technologies and practices create opportunities to optimize energy use and lower operating costs. He'll provide information to give you a better understanding of farm energy use, including farm energy assessments and how to use those results to make sound investment decisions.</p>

<p>Jordan Clements, Distributed Wind Educator, will talk about small-scale wind energy and how you could implement it on your farm. He’ll present on what makes distributed wind different from other types of wind systems, and the costs and incentives available to farmers. He'll show tools that can help you decide if distributed wind is right for you. </p>

<p>For those interested in on-site solar or leasing for solar development, Guillermo Metz, Ag &amp; Solar Senior Resource Educator, will go over what that process looks like, address some common concerns about solar and the impacts of solar on farmland, what happens at the end of a project's life, and the latest research on what grows well under or around solar panels.</p>

<p>The cost is $5 per person, and a light dinner will be provided. Online registration is required.

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery.

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>What does it mean to extend a university into the largest, most complex city in the country?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Cornell University Cooperative Extension—New York City (CUCE-NYC) has been answering that question for more than 60 years. Working across all five boroughs, CUCE-NYC translates Cornell’s research into practical programs that reach more than 30,000 New Yorkers each year—in nutrition and health, family and youth development, and STEM and urban agriculture.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In this talk, Jenny Weil Malatras ‘02, executive director of CUCE-NYC and board certified clinical psychologist, will explore what the land-grant mission looks like on the ground in New York City today — through the stories of the educators and young people doing the work, and through an honest look at the challenges facing the organization. She will also reflect on the strategic questions facing CUCE-NYC — including how to scale impact in a city of 8 million, what it means to truly put Cornell’s research in service of New York City’s communities, and how faculty, students, and community partners might be part of that work.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Malatras is the executive director of CUCE-NYC and since June 2025, she has led all of Cornell’s extension efforts around nutrition, youth development, and family engagement in all five boroughs of the city.</p>

Hammock Hang 2026</title><description><![CDATA[<p>WELCOME TO THE BRISTOL HILLS HAMMOCK HANG!
<br>Bristol Hills Hammock Hang is a relaxed, community-driven gathering for hammock campers of all experience levels, set on the beautiful wooded grounds of 4-H Camp Bristol Hills. Whether you’re brand new to hanging or a seasoned tree-dweller, the Hammock Hang is all about sharing knowledge, swapping stories, testing setups, and enjoying a low-key weekend outdoors with people who love sleeping off the ground as much as you do. Expect informal skill sessions, plenty of time to explore camp, and the kind of campfire conversations that only happen when everyone is a little dirt-happy and well-rested.</p>

<p>The event will take place FRIDAY MAY 29- SATURDAY MAY 31, with gates opening at 4pm on Friday and closing at 2pm on Sunday.   Registration fee is  $25 per person for the weekend for hammock or tent camping. Registration includes access to all scheduled activities and designated hammock-friendly camping areas. For those who prefer a roof (or wheels), optional cabin rentals, bunkhouse accommodations, and RV sites are available for an additional fee.  Breakfast and Lunch are available for pre-sale during the registration process.  Whether you’re hanging between the trees, pulling in with your camper, or bunking indoors, the Bristol Hills Hammock Hang offers a welcoming space to learn, relax, and connect with the hammock camping community. Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  The Hammock Hang is built on shared respect, community, and care for the camp and each other.  Registration is expected to open on or around February 1, 2026.</p>

<p>Who Should Attend
<br>The Bristol Hills Hammock Hang is open to anyone curious about hammock camping, from first-time hangers to seasoned hammockers. If you’ve been hammock camping for years and love sharing tips, you’ll fit right in. If you’ve been hammock-curious but unsure where to start, this is a welcoming, low-pressure way to learn. The event is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, backpackers, paddlers, scouts, and campers who enjoy community, learning, and spending a weekend in the woods—no matter what your sleep system looks like.</p>

<p>Packing Up
<br>Participants should plan to bring their own hammock system, personal camping gear, weather-appropriate clothing, and breakfast/lunch food. Headlamps, camp chairs, and a reusable mug are also recommended.  A more detailed packing list will be sent to registered participants.</p>

<p>Outdoor Cookoff Competition!
<br>Do you have a favorite dish you love to cook anytime you're outdoors?  We will be hosting an Outdoor Cooking Competition, inviting guests to prepare their finest camp fare for a panel of judges, on Saturday night after dinner.

If you're willing to share your favorite recipe with other guests of the event, just check that box and we will make it available as a digital download for all guests.

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

This exhibition brings together selected works from the lab spanning 2019 to 2026, alongside projects created through the Hybrid Body Lab Artist Residency.</p>

<p>Bridging engineering, design, and community-engaged research, the lab explores how these intimate technologies can reflect—rather than constrain—the complexity, diversity, and expressiveness of human life.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<br>What 2025 attendees said...</p>

<p>"The SAVY conference on artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine was topical and interesting. The presentations offered a thorough review of contemporary AI applications in diagnostics, epidemiology, and herd health management."</p>

<p>"Great exposure to AI technology with both industry and academia settings!”</p>

<p>“Some of the keynote presentations should be seen by every vet student, resident and faculty member."</p>

<p>"The presentations were very inspirational and made me feel like this was a huge turning point in medicine and science. I am unaware of any other meetings of this type."   </p>

<p>“This is absolutely amazing, this helps me know what people in this field are currently doing and keep me updated about the newest studies."</p>

<p>"SAVY was really well organised - friendly organising committee, and lovely catering!"</p>

The competition will be held Saturday evening after dinner, in the pavilion at the Camp.</p>

<p>Prepare your favorite outdoor dish, outdoors, and put it head to head against other contestants best work.  A panel of judges will evaluate all of the dishes and award one special guest in each Class with the title of Champion Chef!  </p>

<p>Classes: </p>

<p>Class 1 will be for dishes prepared on a traditional car camping setup (think Coleman stove or Blackstone, ice chest, picnic table or similar)</p>

<p>Class 2 will be prepared with minimalist backpacker setups (think isobutane stoves like the Pocket Rocket, JetBoil, Whisperlite, or the ultralight BRS3000t).</p>

<p>The event will provide a picnic table for each contestant.  Contestants will be responsible for all other equipment and ingredients required to prepare the dish.  </p>

<p>The judges will have sole discretion to move an entry from one class to another, if they feel it has been entered into the wrong class.</p>

<p>Contestants will have 30 minutes to prepare their dish in front of a panel of judges and a viewing audience, and plate their dish for presentation.  While this IS an outdoor cooking competition, we ask that your dish is plated, rather than served from a communal cookpot/frypan.  We ask that entrants prepare at least three portions so that each of the judges can sample the dish.  If you wish to prepare more than three portions, the "extra" can be shared with other guests after the competition has ended, adding to the community feel!  </p>

<br>What 2025 attendees said...</p>

<p>"The SAVY conference on artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine was topical and interesting. The presentations offered a thorough review of contemporary AI applications in diagnostics, epidemiology, and herd health management."</p>

<p>"Great exposure to AI technology with both industry and academia settings!”</p>

<p>“Some of the keynote presentations should be seen by every vet student, resident and faculty member."</p>

<p>"The presentations were very inspirational and made me feel like this was a huge turning point in medicine and science. I am unaware of any other meetings of this type."   </p>

<p>“This is absolutely amazing, this helps me know what people in this field are currently doing and keep me updated about the newest studies."</p>

<p>"SAVY was really well organised - friendly organising committee, and lovely catering!"</p>

Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence at Human Ecology Building (HEB)</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence explores how dress functions as civic infrastructure that shapes belonging, authority, and public life. Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence at Human Ecology Building (HEB)</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence explores how dress functions as civic infrastructure that shapes belonging, authority, and public life. Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program.

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>This summer, all Cornell faculty are invited to join the Center for Racial Justice and Equitable Futures for the Summer Series Luncheons: shared meals centered around a themed conversation. We’ll provide the food!</p>

<p>Join one or all three meals and engage with your colleagues in conversations meant to nourish camaraderie as much as professional and personal development. The dates and topics are:
<br>May 4: Research
<br>June 8: Engagement
<br>August 17: Teaching</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>THIS EVENT IS FULL. IF YOU REGISTER, YOU WILL BE PLACED ON A WAITLIST.</p>

<p>With its white head and tail combined with a 7' wingspan, the adult bald eagle is one of the most identifiable and iconic bird species in the world.  It has long been revered by native cultures and later chosen as our national symbol.  We will discuss the eagle's "natural" history as well as its "historic" and "historical" histories with an emphasis on New York.  What could be more fitting than to find out additional information about our national symbol during our nation's 250th Anniversary!</p>

<p>Participants are invited to bring a lunch to enjoy with fellow community members, or purchase one from CCE's "Taste NY" store. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>From pandemics to personal wellbeing, health has been a cornerstone of campus life across the world. The pieces in this student-curated exhibit detail the way health and student lives have been interwoven throughout Cornell’s history, looking at case studies from the HIV and COVID-19 public health crises, and various artifacts from student life across the past century. Public Health on the Hill explores the multifaceted role students play in learning from health practices, and contributing to them in return.</p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections, ranging from the 1900s to the 2020s. Materials on view include documentation from the Chi Alpha Medical Honors Society, photography from vet school procedures, COVID-19 masks, HIV epidemic outreach news clippings, and so much more, highlighting the various ways that health and wellbeing touch student lives.</p>

<p>Public Health on the Hill was curated by Jeffrey Ho, a biological sciences major in the class of 2026, as part of his capstone project for the Humanities Scholars program. The exhibition will be on view in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Michael T. Sillerman ‘68 Rotunda from April 9th to June 10th, 2026. Rare and Manuscript Collections is open to the public weekdays 9 am to 5 pm.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>Don’t let complex datasets stall your research. This interactive workshop simplifies the journey from experimental design to data interpretation</p>

<p>No bioinformatics expertise is required.</p>

<p>In this workshop, you will be introduced to the single cell gene expression analysis journey. Analysis begins at experimental design. Together we will explore a set of single cell data starting with the 10x Cloud Analysis platform for raw data processing. From there, we will assess the data quality using the Cell Ranger web summary and then move into the Loupe Browser for our initial analysis. We will take what we have learned from the Loupe analysis into the community-developed tools space. To wrap things up, each participant will have the opportunity to map out their own analysis journey moving forward by sitting down with members of the Applied Bioinformatics and other experts from 10x Genomics.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

This educational program will be held at the Oswego County Fairgrounds in Sandy Creek, NY.  Farm Safety Day is a program designed to educate youth about their surroundings and the dangers that their farm/household could present. Youth will go through 4 stations to hopefully gain the knowledge to reduce injury and prevent serious consequences.

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

You'll work through a self paced lab using a real application (TaskFlow) to navigate each stage of the development lifecycle, powered entirely by Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock. By the end, you'll have created real, production grade artifacts: requirements documents, architecture plans, tested implementations, and an autonomous coding pipeline.</p>

<p>Designed around the AWS “AI Powered SDLC with Claude Code” curriculum, this immersive workshop is facilitated by the AWS team while you work at your own pace.</p>

<p>RSVP for this event (seating is limited).</p>

<p>Experience Cornell is a searchable, student-facing website that aggregates information about opportunities across Cornell into one space. This includes opportunities around fellowships/funding, research, global learning, community engagement, off-campus learning, professional/career development, and more. If you administer a program to Cornell students in one of these areas, check with your college or unit's student services staff to see if you already have designated content entry staff for the site. If you plan to be the designated content entry staff, you must attend this training session before entering content into the Experience Cornell. The one-hour training includes an overview and demo of the site, and focuses on how to add content in a way that ensures the site remains useful for students.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

<p>You've signed up to attend the 2026 NYS 4-H Shooting Sports Training at 4-H Camp Bristol Hills.  If you're traveling some distance to join us, we invite you to bring a sleeping bag and cozy up around the campfire.  We are offering lodging in our cabins.  If you are commuting each day, and do not need lodging at camp, you do not need to register here.</p>

<p>Our cabins are rustic in nature.  Here's what you can expect:</p>

<p>Rubber coated camp mattresses (30"x72"x4") in wooden bunk beds
<br>Screen windows, screened door, wooden shutters and solid exterior doors
<br>Two entrances/exits to each cabin
<br>Electric lights
<br>A small number of electric outlets
<br>Smoke detector
<br>No running water, no toilets</p>

<p>We kindly ask that no food is stored or consumed in the cabins, due to concerns of attracting wildlife.  Also note that our cabins cannot be locked once occupied.  While we have never experienced any problems with theft or vandalism, you are encouraged to store any valuables in your vehicle if they aren't essential to keep in your cabin.  We have three bath houses available in camp, and these bath houses include toilets, sinks, and private shower stalls.   Drinking water is available from any tap in camp, and we typically have an igloo cooler with icewater available in the dining hall at all times.  Meals are already included in your training program fees.</p>

<p>We do not provide bed linens or pillows, towels, soap, or shampoo so we recommend that you bring a sleeping bag OR flat sheets and a blanket, along with a pillow, and if you plan to shower, bring your own supplies for that.</p>

<p>While you are staying with us, and outside of class time, we invite you to explore the camp property.  Check out the pond, the hiking trails, the ravine and so on. When you arrive, we will have printed maps that you can use during your stay.</p>

<p>If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Any 4-H member who is planning on participating in the County 4-H Horse Show at the Boonville/Oneida County Fair and falls into either of the following categories needs to be evaluated:</p>

<p>* Any new 4-H member or Cloverbud</p>

<p>* 4-H member moving up a riding level (Walk/Trot to Walk/Trot/Canter, Not an Age Level Ex. Junior to Senior Division)</p>

<p>* Any 4-H member using a different horse/pony than previously evaluated on</p>

<p>* The riding levels are leadline, Walk/Trot or Walk/Jog, Walk/Trot/Canter or Walk/Jog/Lope</p>

<p>* Other evaluation levels include Driving and Ground Skills.</p>

<p>If evaluations are unable to be completed at the 4-H Schooling Show alternate arrangements will be made.  If evaluations are done at the horse's home barn/location the evaluation will finalized at the County Fair 4-H Horse Shows.  This pending status is due to need to show that horse and rider are a safe pair in a show setting away from familiar surroundings.    </p>

<p>Evaluations will be performed by 3 individuals not including the child's parent/guardian or riding instructor.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

The formal classroom learning will be from 10 am to 2 pm with lunch provided.  Our instructor is the owner and founder of <a href="http://www.flxmushrooms.com">www.flxmushrooms.com</a> “May the Forest be With You,” Stacey Estabrook. She is a certified wild mushroom forager, educator, and guide based in the Finger Lakes region of New York. In this class she will teach us to safely and confidently forage wild mushrooms.  The goal of the class is to provide clear, thorough guidance focused on the most delicious, safe, and easy-to-identify wild mushrooms in our region. Some other fun fungi related activities will be planned from 2 pm to 4 pm, if you want to stay after the formal classroom style part of the class (possible hands-on inoculation, mushroom bed preparation, maybe some actual foraging, etc.)  </p>

<p>Active volunteers of the association will be accepted first if you are a CCE educator or not currently a volunteer you will be contacted by a member of our staff and added to a waiting list.  Thank you, for your understanding.  </p>

<p>There is no cost to attend this class, the instructor is being provided by our host.  Donations to the CCE Master Food Preserver program are welcome (and encouraged). </p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection.

Many strategies exist to respond to this challenge, but one that has not received enough attention is fostering social impact research through community-engaged scholarship, which addresses real problems in the everyday lives of community members. Recent experiences demonstrate that incentives to social impact research are viable and that barriers can be surpassed. By fostering trust and mutuality, social impact research carried out in community partnerships can overcome the perils of polarization which are so prominent today.</p>

<p>Adam Gamoran leads William T. Grant Foundation, a charitable organization that supports research to improve the lives of young people.  Two priorities guide the Foundation’s grantmaking: identifying ways to reduce inequality in youth outcomes, and improving the use of research evidence in decisions about policy and practice that affect young people. Previously, he held the John D. MacArthur Chair in Sociology and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he spent three decades engaged in research on educational inequality and school reform.</p>

<p>His research contributions have been honored by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, the American Educational Research Association, and the Sociology of Education Section of the American Sociological Association.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

<p>The Eastern Garter Snake is the most widespread and commonly encountered snake in our area.  Even though many refer to it as a "garden snake" or "gardener snake", its correct name is Common Garter Snake (or Eastern Garter Snake subspecies in our area).  The name is derived from its overall pattern that resembles a garter belt.  So, what else about this very common wildlife neighbor might be misunderstood?  Many people do not like or might fear snakes; it is said that that we fear those things we do not understand, so why not join us to find out more.  For those that like snakes, it should be informational. For those that do not, you may not become a huge snake fan, or actually fear them less, but at least you might have a better understanding for our most common snake.  All are welcome.</p>

<p>Participants are invited to bring a lunch to enjoy with fellow community members, or purchase one from CCE's "Taste NY" store. </p>

<p>Registration is required. Admission is free.</p>

<p>This event is geared toward adults age 50+.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>Experience Cornell is a searchable, student-facing website that aggregates information about opportunities across Cornell into one space. This includes opportunities around fellowships/funding, research, global learning, community engagement, off-campus learning, professional/career development, and more. If you administer a program to Cornell students in one of these areas, check with your college or unit's student services staff to see if you already have designated content entry staff for the site. If you plan to be the designated content entry staff, you must attend this training session before entering content into the Experience Cornell. The one-hour training includes an overview and demo of the site, and focuses on how to add content in a way that ensures the site remains useful for students.</p>

<p>In a world where so much feels unpredictable—global conflicts, local violence, financial pressures, job insecurity/changes, political tension, and personal/familial stressors—we are all feeling overwhelmed. This workshop offers a supportive space for faculty and staff to acknowledge and navigate these complex emotions together.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Within this 50-minute Zoom together we will settle our nervous systems with a brief mindfulness exercise, a writing prompt to identify feelings, and an opportunity to connect and share helpful coping strategies.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop, facilitated by Jennelle Liljestran, LCSW, counselor from the Faculty &amp; Staff Assistance Program, is designed to foster community, compassion, and resilience. All Cornell faculty and staff are warmly welcome.</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>To get the most out of our Zoom meetings, please be sure you’re in a quiet, private space.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

<p>A virtual conference hosted by the Inya Institute (Yangon), Cornell University's Southeast Asia Program (SEAP), and their Southeast Asia-based partners.</p>

<p>Myanmar’s multilayered crisis is profoundly reshaping the socio-economic and geo-political dynamics of the country’s borderlands—regions that have evolved into spaces of exchange, negotiation, and collaboration across geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. The emergence of these spaces has been uneven, unfolding under stringent administrative control and persistent insecurity and marked by fluctuating intensity and periodic pushback from central authorities. Yet, the potential of borderlands to provide local and trans-local communities and networks with opportunities to shape the country’s future remains tremendous.</p>

<p>The conference’s focus on interconnectedness will highlight how inclusive learning and dialogue, local and trans-local community engagement, and recognition of our interdependence with the natural environment can further strengthen borderland dynamics across all markers. It will broaden the conversation on borderland issues that may only be addressed through the prism of ethnicity or framed as issues specific to group identities. It will also encourage dialogue across communities, inviting them to discuss the challenges they face and the aspirations they hold.</p>

<p>invite scholars and students to submit original research papers and/or panels covering any area of Myanmar borders with China, Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India and addressing any of the following topics:</p>

<p>• borderland dynamics and their local and trans-local communities</p>

<p>• networks and partnerships emerging across ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic boundaries</p>

<p>• communities, networks, and trade across borders  </p>

<p>• natural resources and challenges to environmental protection in borderlands </p>

<p>• legal and illegal border migration </p>

<p>• humanitarian relief to refugees and public health in borderlands </p>

<p>• border regimes and governance </p>

<p>• infrastructure(s) and illicit economies and activities </p>

<p>• non-human mobility in borderlands </p>

<p>• formal and non-formal education in borderlands </p>

<p>• other themes related to Myanmar’s borderlands. </p>

<p>In order to preserve the confidentiality of presenters, the conference program will not be available for circulation beyond the group of conference presenters. Conference presenters will also be expected to follow the Chatham House Rule. </p>

<p>The conference will be held entirely online. Due to the time difference between Myanmar and the U.S., panels will be held in the evening for presenters based in Myanmar, Thailand, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and the morning for those located in the U.S.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>A virtual conference hosted by the Inya Institute (Yangon), Cornell University's Southeast Asia Program (SEAP), and their Southeast Asia-based partners.</p>

<p>Myanmar’s multilayered crisis is profoundly reshaping the socio-economic and geo-political dynamics of the country’s borderlands—regions that have evolved into spaces of exchange, negotiation, and collaboration across geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. The emergence of these spaces has been uneven, unfolding under stringent administrative control and persistent insecurity and marked by fluctuating intensity and periodic pushback from central authorities. Yet, the potential of borderlands to provide local and trans-local communities and networks with opportunities to shape the country’s future remains tremendous.</p>

<p>The conference’s focus on interconnectedness will highlight how inclusive learning and dialogue, local and trans-local community engagement, and recognition of our interdependence with the natural environment can further strengthen borderland dynamics across all markers. It will broaden the conversation on borderland issues that may only be addressed through the prism of ethnicity or framed as issues specific to group identities. It will also encourage dialogue across communities, inviting them to discuss the challenges they face and the aspirations they hold.</p>

<p>invite scholars and students to submit original research papers and/or panels covering any area of Myanmar borders with China, Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India and addressing any of the following topics:</p>

<p>• borderland dynamics and their local and trans-local communities</p>

<p>• networks and partnerships emerging across ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic boundaries</p>

<p>• communities, networks, and trade across borders  </p>

<p>• natural resources and challenges to environmental protection in borderlands </p>

<p>• legal and illegal border migration </p>

<p>• humanitarian relief to refugees and public health in borderlands </p>

<p>• border regimes and governance </p>

<p>• infrastructure(s) and illicit economies and activities </p>

<p>• non-human mobility in borderlands </p>

<p>• formal and non-formal education in borderlands </p>

<p>• other themes related to Myanmar’s borderlands. </p>

<p>In order to preserve the confidentiality of presenters, the conference program will not be available for circulation beyond the group of conference presenters. Conference presenters will also be expected to follow the Chatham House Rule. </p>

<p>The conference will be held entirely online. Due to the time difference between Myanmar and the U.S., panels will be held in the evening for presenters based in Myanmar, Thailand, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and the morning for those located in the U.S.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

<p>A virtual conference hosted by the Inya Institute (Yangon), Cornell University's Southeast Asia Program (SEAP), and their Southeast Asia-based partners.</p>

<p>Myanmar’s multilayered crisis is profoundly reshaping the socio-economic and geo-political dynamics of the country’s borderlands—regions that have evolved into spaces of exchange, negotiation, and collaboration across geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. The emergence of these spaces has been uneven, unfolding under stringent administrative control and persistent insecurity and marked by fluctuating intensity and periodic pushback from central authorities. Yet, the potential of borderlands to provide local and trans-local communities and networks with opportunities to shape the country’s future remains tremendous.</p>

<p>The conference’s focus on interconnectedness will highlight how inclusive learning and dialogue, local and trans-local community engagement, and recognition of our interdependence with the natural environment can further strengthen borderland dynamics across all markers. It will broaden the conversation on borderland issues that may only be addressed through the prism of ethnicity or framed as issues specific to group identities. It will also encourage dialogue across communities, inviting them to discuss the challenges they face and the aspirations they hold.</p>

<p>invite scholars and students to submit original research papers and/or panels covering any area of Myanmar borders with China, Laos, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India and addressing any of the following topics:</p>

<p>• borderland dynamics and their local and trans-local communities</p>

<p>• networks and partnerships emerging across ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic boundaries</p>

<p>• communities, networks, and trade across borders  </p>

<p>• natural resources and challenges to environmental protection in borderlands </p>

<p>• legal and illegal border migration </p>

<p>• humanitarian relief to refugees and public health in borderlands </p>

<p>• border regimes and governance </p>

<p>• infrastructure(s) and illicit economies and activities </p>

<p>• non-human mobility in borderlands </p>

<p>• formal and non-formal education in borderlands </p>

<p>• other themes related to Myanmar’s borderlands. </p>

<p>In order to preserve the confidentiality of presenters, the conference program will not be available for circulation beyond the group of conference presenters. Conference presenters will also be expected to follow the Chatham House Rule. </p>

<p>The conference will be held entirely online. Due to the time difference between Myanmar and the U.S., panels will be held in the evening for presenters based in Myanmar, Thailand, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and the morning for those located in the U.S.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

<p>4-H Camp Beechwood provides a safe, fun experience in an outdoor setting that allows youth the opportunity for physical and emotional growth.  Campers learn leadership, teambuilding, problem solving and creative thinking skills while engaging in outdoor adventure.  A few of our guest presenters are from Sea Grant, Trail Works, Wayne County Soil and Water, and NYS DEC, among others.</p>

<p>We utilize teen counselors and coach them to help build leadership skills as well as teaching them useful job readiness skills.  The teens complete an application, develop a resume and submit a letter of reference.  Our counselors organize their own cabins, teach songs, lead activities and supervise the campers. </p>

<p>We look forward to seeing you at 4-H Camp Beechwood this summer!</p>

<p> </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>4-H Camp Beechwood provides a safe, fun experience in an outdoor setting that allows youth the opportunity for physical and emotional growth.  Campers learn leadership, teambuilding, problem solving and creative thinking skills while engaging in outdoor adventure.  A few of our guest presenters are from Sea Grant, Trail Works, Wayne County Soil and Water, and DEC, among others.</p>

<p>We utilize teen counselors and coach them to help build leadership skills as well as teaching them useful job readiness skills.  The teens complete an application, develop a resume and submit a letter of reference.  Our counselors organize their own cabins, teach songs, lead activities and supervise the campers. </p>

<p>We look forward to seeing you at 4-H Camp Beechwood this summer!</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

We are excited to see all of your hard work from over the last year. All project entries must be dropped off in Morrisville on Tuesday, July 21st. This year we will be asking youth to present their projects to the evaluator, which gives an opportunity for them to explain what they have done and learned and give the evaluator time to ask questions and provide feedback in real time. Ribbons will be attached at the fairgrounds for youth to see!</p>

<p>You can enter any project you’ve made - anything you had a hand in making can be submitted! Projects are evaluated and awarded a white, red, or blue ribbon with premiums of $1, $2, and $3 respectively. Exceptional projects may be selected to go to the New York State Fair with a purple ribbon.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century.

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other related events include:</p>

<p>“Birds and Blooms” monthly bird and habitat tours, starting April 17 with Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Register at cornellbotanicgardens.org.</p>

<p>“Keeping Our Common Birds Common” hybrid lecture April 26, 3:00 p.m., by Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware, presented by Cornell Botanic Gardens, at Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall by zoom (registration required).</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

At a field day July 11th in Clyde, NY, learn about options for improving crop and soil performance through rainfall extremes.  In fields with well-working tile, cleared outlets, minimal compaction, some surface residues, and water-stable soil aggregates, water percolates through the soil with little ponding or run-off and crops suffer much less damage.  The deeper rooting of crops in healthy soils also sustains them longer through dry periods.  More and more farmers in New York State are taking a second look at their crop rotations, cover crops and reduced tillage, in an effort to improve the health of their soil.</p>

<p>Join us on Thursday, July 11th, 9:30 am – 2:00 pm, at Roger and Scott Arliss’ Pit Farms, 895 Lockpit Rd., east of Clyde, off Rt. 31, for a Soil Health Field Day.  Observe the dramatically different effect of simulated rainfall on a soil with good health vs one that’s been overworked.  See soil layers, compaction and crop root growth in a soil pit.  On-farm trial results with a wide range of grass, legume and crucifer cover crops will be presented, including information on winter triticale and winter malting barley.  Reduced tillage equipment, including planters, will be demonstrated. There will time for you to discuss your experiences with other growers, as well as to ask questions of Roger and Scott Arliss, and the speakers.</p>

<p>Registration for the field day is at 9:30 am and costs $5.  A picnic lunch with hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided.  For more information on the Soil Health Field Day contact Ron Thorn at: 315-946-9912 or <a href="mailto:rdtswcd@rochester.rr.com">rdtswcd@rochester.rr.com</a>  Sponsored byWayne County Farm Bureau, USDA NRCS, Wayne County SWCD, Cornell University Cooperative Extension.</p>

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Significant hazards for a particular juice, puree, or concentrate are identified based upon scientific information. The steps at which these hazards can be controlled within the process are identified, and the critical limits at each of the key process steps are set. Monitoring procedures are implemented to evaluate conformance with these critical limits. The HACCP plan relies on extensive verification and documentation to assure that food safety has not been compromised. Thus, HACCP provides a structure for assessing risks or what could go wrong, and for putting the controls in place to minimize such risks.</p>

<p>Under the federal Juice HACCP rule published in 2001, juice processors must comply with two requirements: (1) Subpart A of the rule requires use of HACCP principles and systems in their operations; (2) Subpart B of the rule requires that processors implement treatment(s) to reduce a theoretical population of “pertinent” microorganisms in the juice by 99.999%or 5-log cycles. The “pertinent” microorganism is defined as the most resistant microorganism of public health significance that is likely to occur in the juice.</p>

<p>Juice processors that meet the definition of “retail” establishments are not covered by the federal juice HACCP regulation but must comply with other federal and state rules that regulate juice production. Retail establishments are manufacturers that prepare and provide all of their juice production directly to consumers and do not sell or distribute (wholesale) juice to other businesses.</p>

Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p> </p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

<p>THIS EVENT IS FULL. IF YOU REGISTER, YOU WILL BE PUT ON A WAITLIST.</p>

<p>This beautiful member of the cat family generally weighs between 10 and 25 pounds, and it is much smaller than most people believe it to be.  The elusive bobcat has seen a dramatic increase in population and range across New York and our area over the past few decades.  Coincidentally, the New York State DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) has recently released an updated NYS Bobcat Management Plan 2024 - 2033.  We will explore this fascinating creature including information from the management plan.
<br>*NOTE* This month's presentation on the Bobcat marks the 100th "Lunch with Tom"/"Senior Brown Bag Lunch" presentation.  We will make note of this milestone and give a short overview of the program's history before moving into the scheduled presentation. </p>

<p>Participants are invited to bring a lunch to enjoy with fellow community members, or purchase one from CCE's "Taste NY" store. </p>

<p>Registration is required. Admission is free.</p>

<p>This event is geared toward adults age 50+.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>Experience Cornell is a searchable, student-facing website that aggregates information about opportunities across Cornell into one space. This includes opportunities around fellowships/funding, research, global learning, community engagement, off-campus learning, professional/career development, and more. If you administer a program to Cornell students in one of these areas, check with your college or unit's student services staff to see if you already have designated content entry staff for the site. If you plan to be the designated content entry staff, you must attend this training session before entering content into the Experience Cornell. The one-hour training includes an overview and demo of the site, and focuses on how to add content in a way that ensures the site remains useful for students.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance.

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

<p>This summer, all Cornell faculty are invited to join the Center for Racial Justice and Equitable Futures for the Summer Series Luncheons: shared meals centered around a themed conversation. We’ll provide the food!</p>

<p>Join one or all three meals and engage with your colleagues in conversations meant to nourish camaraderie as much as professional and personal development. The dates and topics are:
<br>May 4: Research
<br>June 8: Engagement
<br>August 17: Teaching</p>

<p>All meals take place from 12–1pm on campus at the Center. There’s no need to bring anything, but you are encouraged to bring your questions, ideas, and struggles around each theme.</p>

<p>Spots are limited in order to best foster productive conversation. Please register in advance so we know who’s coming, and let us know on the order form if you have any allergies we should be aware of. If you have any questions about the luncheons, feel free to reach out!</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

<p>This exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. Milman ’58, MBA ’59, and Evalyn Edwards Milman ’60 Exhibition Fund.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. </p>

<p>A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction, as well as some brought back from the brink, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens, historical illustrations, photographs, video and sound recordings, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientists better understand bird decline and loss, as well as how conservation efforts can help them recover. </p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned and shown in a multitude of ways. Curated by Ashley Kim ‘26. Funded by the Charlotte A. Jirousek Fellowship.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate features scores, videos, and sound recordings of works inspired by endangered creatures and fragile habitats. The exhibit showcases music by current and former Cornell students and faculty, including the elegiac orchestral work Silent Spring (2011), by the late Pulitzer Prize winner and Cornell faculty member Steven Stucky; and High Water Rising for Wind Ensemble (2017), by local composer and Cornell alumna Sally Lamb McCune, which depicts the threat of rising sea levels. </p>

<p>The exhibit will also feature sound installations by student composers, beginning with Grayspace by James Parker, a graduate student in the Department of Music. Running from February 20 through March 20, Grayspace invites visitors to create their own sonic landscape. As they move through the library space with headphones and handheld radios, participants can discover and combine musical and environmental sounds for a uniquely immersive auditory journey.</p>

<p>The opening of this exhibit will be celebrated with a reception and remarks on Friday, February 20, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, 2nd floor. </p>

<p>More information about Music of the Natural World: Cornell Composers on Nature, Ecology, and Climate is available here. This exhibit is part of a series of exhibits titled "From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell," hosted by different libraries across Cornell University Library in close partnership with other departments and groups on campus.</p>

<p>"From the Brink" showcases collections, research support, and collaborative efforts across Cornell and illuminates ways of addressing issues of critical, global importance. This series of exhibits aims to stimulate conversations about the threat of environmental and cultural loss and its implications, while also offering insights about positive developments and constructive steps toward a healthier future for our planet and our communities.</p>

<p>Music of the Natural World is open to the public all hours the library is open.</p>

The artifacts gathered in this exhibition demonstrate the essential role plants have played in human communication, health, clothing, and design across the ages, showing that the phrase “plant-based” can apply to much more than food and diet. Plant-Based explores multiple dimensions of our varied interactions with plants, and celebrates the earth’s florae, their myriad uses, and the inspiration humanity has discovered in their bounty. </p>

<p>This exhibition features items from across Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as plant and insect specimens on loan from the L.H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium and the Cornell Insect Collection. Materials on view include handmade paper from as early as the Ming Dynasty, woodblocks created by artist and Cornellian Elfriede Abbe, herbals from around the world, ancient papyrus fragments, contemporary artists’ books, and much more – illuminating just how far the roots of the plant world reach into our lives.</p>

Sillerman &apos;68 Rotunda, Rare and Manuscript Collections</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books, letters, and documents on the life of George Washington.</p>

<p>These highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White, who had a fascination with both American history and book collecting. The acquisition of rare materials relating to Washington and his era formed an integral part of White’s educational vision. Despite subsequent transformations in the discipline, White’s principle remains resonant: collecting, displaying, and teaching with rare books, autographs, signatures, and portraits make history tangible and alive.</p>

Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.</p>

<p>This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.</p>

But if we are the main drivers of biodiversity decline, we also have the power to change the trend. </p>

<p>Organized by Cornell University Library, Going to Gone features illustrations from historical studies of our natural world found in the library’s collections and reflects on the looming possibility of a “Sixth Extinction” on Earth. The exhibit identifies some of the key factors behind the decline of animal species in the 21st century. It also highlights emerging research insights and conservation efforts to give us hope and conviction that preserving the biodiversity of our beautiful planet is within our grasp.</p>

<p>This exhibit is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction, and Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond. </p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>

<p>This exhibit shows how managed landscapes that integrate principles of habitat conservation and native plant gardening have a key role to play in protecting and nurturing the beautiful birds that visit our backyards, neighborhoods, parks, fields, and forests, with the hopes of keeping these common birds common forever.</p>

<p>Keeping Common Birds Common is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodiversity Loss and What We Can Do About It.</p>

<p>Join us for an opening celebration for these exhibits  on Thursday, April 16, with a lecture by Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160, and a reception at 5:00 p.m. in the Mann Library Gallery. All are welcome!</p>
