Cornell Club of Washington

Hunter Rawlings III, was the 10th president of Cornell (starting in 1987 and returning as interim president several times.) and educated students of all ages in the classics across his career. He lives in the DMV and will be celebrated on May 17 with the establishment of a Reading Room at the Washington Latin Public Charter School. You can support the celebration when you buy tickets to participate in the fundraising gala. More. 

UPDATE: May 9th's Amazing Race - Cornell Style: Individuals have till April 30 to be placed on a squad. It's like a hilarious scavenger hunt on steroids. Just like the TV show.  

Featured Cornellian:  

Alan Stillman, Class of 1982, founded Stroke Smart to educate people on how to spot when a person is having a stroke in order to get them to immediate medical attention to prevent serious long term effects.  Learn more from Alan's Ted Talk and resources at the Virginia Department of Education.

May is Stroke Awareness Month. Cornell Club of Washington is proud to celebrate Alan's impact and to support distribution of his educational materials during May 9th's Amazing Race--Cornell Style.

Casey, Jr. will be discussed in May, so get your copy and/or read its executive summary posted at the order page.

E-mail the VP of Programming in order to post and host events such as a gathering for our "Explore DC Happy Hour" series. 

Great news for our members with 10th and 11th graders! Cornell is receiving applications for the DC Summer Policy Institute. Rising 11th and 12 graders will attend at the Wolpe Center near Dupont Circle from July 6-17. It's a 2-week non-residential course to earn 2 college credits. Spread the word on this new program! Guidance counselors and promising students at your local high school will love learning about it.

Take our 5-minute survey so that we can use member input to see where to put efforts next.
