Cornell University
Free Event

Led by Glenn C. Altschuler and                                Isaac Kramnick

In this course, Isaac Kramnick and Glenn Altschuler, the authors of a forthcoming history of Cornell, will relate profound, fascinating, and little-known stories about the university, connect them to the "Cornell idea" of freedom and responsibility, and examine the university during the Cold War, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, anti-apartheid protests, the women's movement (the phrase "sexual harassment" was coined at Cornell), the opening of relations with China, and the creation of Cornell NYC Tech.

Anyone interested in Cornell (especially as it approaches its sesquicentennial), in higher education, and in the history of the United States since World War II will find much to savor.

This program is part of Cornell's Adult University (CAU), which offers acclaimed education vacations designed and led by Cornell faculty. Through CAU, you can enjoy travel adventures to spectacular destinations around the world and inspiring weeklong summer seminars on the beautiful Cornell campus. Programs are open to all, including Cornell alumni, families, and friends. For more information and to register, visit www.cau.cornell.edu, e-mail cauinfo@cornell.edu, or call 607.255.6260.
