      <title>Dance Theatre of Harlem presents Firebird (at the National Theater) (09/26/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#7B7561" face="Barlow, sans-serif"&gt;CCW has a block of tickets for the Dance Theatre of Harlem performing Firebird.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#7B7561" face="Barlow, sans-serif"&gt;Center Orchestra (5 seats only) - $140 (CCW members only until 9/5/26, then open to all)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#7B7561" face="Barlow, sans-serif"&gt;Mezzanine Center - Members - $64, non-members $74&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#7B7561" face="Barlow, sans-serif"&gt;Let Your Spirit Take Flight! Experience the power and passion of Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) as the company returns to Washington Performing Arts with the bold revival of &lt;em&gt;Firebird&lt;/em&gt;, the company’s iconic take on the classic tale of love and transformation. This DTH signature work, which premiered in Paris, is a feast for the senses, as the Russian folk tale is reimagined in a luscious Caribbean setting featuring John Taras’s choreography and Stravinsky’s iconic score. First conceived in 1982 by Taras, the production comes to life through the inimitable Geoffrey Holder’s stunning sets and costumes, and is accompanied by music recorded by the UNCSA Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mark A. Norman. This exclusive D.C. engagement by Washington Performing Arts and Dance Theatre of Harlem is the latest in a 50-year history of collaboration first established in 1973.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-pm-slice="1 1 []" style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#7B7561" face="Barlow, sans-serif"&gt;The performance program also includes the lively &lt;em&gt;Donizetti Variations&lt;/em&gt;—a masterclass of elegance and endurance set to Donizetti’s &lt;em&gt;Don Sebastian&lt;/em&gt; opera—and &lt;em&gt;Return,&lt;/em&gt; a soulful, high-octane celebration performed to the timeless sounds of James Brown and Aretha Franklin. &lt;em&gt;Return&lt;/em&gt; was choreographed for Dance Theatre of Harlem’s 30th anniversary by DTH Artistic Director Robert Garland.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Virtual Event: Cornell Club Mixer - Make friends with Cornellians around the world! (09/26/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cornellclubdc.org/resources/Pictures/mixer-2020-11-14.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;***Please note start times&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;***&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Bring your beverage of choice and make friends with Cornellians from all around the world! Join Cornellians across the generations: from recent graduates to those who are now grandparents to Cornellians.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Mingle in small discussion groups centered around Cornell-related themes. Share your favorite spots in Collegetown, reminisce on the festivities of Spring/Slope Day, and learn how Cornell has changed over the decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;We will use Zoom video chat and split everyone into small breakout rooms, so everyone has a chance to talk and share with just a few people. Everyone will get rotated around, so you will meet many Cornellians through the mixer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Pre-Party (6pm-9pm ET)&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Hop around themed breakout rooms&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Main Event (9pm-10pm ET)&lt;/u&gt;: Small breakout rooms led by moderators&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;After-Party (10pm-5am ET):&lt;/u&gt; A stream of mini, rapid breakout rooms&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Come anytime, for a few minutes, or a few hours!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Questions:&lt;/strong&gt; Tony Chen&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:lc465@cornell.edu"&gt;lc465@cornell.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Cornell Football at Georgetown Homecoming - game and tailgate (10/03/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Get ready to bring the Big Red to Georgetown!.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This fall, the Big Red takes on Georgetown. Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for an unforgettable Cornell gathering during Georgetown University's Homecoming.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Cornell and Georgetown have met 4 times before with a 2-2 record.&amp;nbsp; Georgetown won in Ithaca more recently in a close game.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Cornell won the 2 previous times by over 40 points each time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This year's Homecoming also has a special connection: newly arrived Georgetown President Eduardo M. Peñalver ’94 is a Cornell alumnus.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Two Registrations&lt;br&gt;
1) There will be a alumni tailgate before the game.&amp;nbsp; The tailgate event is complimentary, but you need to register.&lt;br&gt;
2) Purchase game tickets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;Game Tickets -&lt;/font&gt; CCW has a large block of discounted tickets.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;$13 for members, $17 for non-members. (tickets from Georgetown are $19)&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Register on this page&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span&gt;-------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;Alumni Tailgate 2026&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Cornell Club of Washington invites all fellow alumni in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland to celebrate the legacy and tradition of Theodore Zinck's&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 Zinck's&lt;/strong&gt; in the Washington DC area, one in DC and this one in Virginia.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This years Zinck's will be at the Lake Anne Brew House,&amp;nbsp;11424 Washington Plaza W, Reston, VA 20190-4310.&amp;nbsp; The event will be in their outdoor space.&amp;nbsp; Dress Accordingly.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In case of heavy rain, event may be changed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LABH is owned by Cornellian Melissa Romano,&amp;nbsp; Architect 1995. Our very own modern day Theodore Zinck...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come join us in Reston -&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Walk-ins welcome&lt;/u&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other Zinck's in Washington DC be at The Admiral, 1 Dupont Circle (main entrance on New Hampshire Ave,, south side of the Circle)&amp;nbsp; (Separate registration at&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;TBD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven for students. When the last “Zinck’s” closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck’s became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterwards that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Includes light food and appetizers, and there is a cash bar with our own private bartender&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Harper's Ferry Roller Coaster Hike (10/17/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Vigorous Hike from Harpers Ferry: AT Roller-Coaster &amp;amp; Maryland Heights We’ll hike up the steep roller-coaster&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vigorous 10.4 mile Hike from Harpers Ferry: AT Roller-Coaster &amp;amp; Maryland Heights&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saturday, October 17 starting 8:30AM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll hike up the steep roller-coaster part of the Appalachian Trail, up to the Old Fort, overlooking a nice strategic view of the Potomac River, then back down &amp;amp; around to the Maryland Heights with a photogenic view of Harper’s Ferry, set between the rivers, near Peregrine Falcon nests&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/nature/peregrine-falcons.htm" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/nature/peregrine-falcons.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Snack/lunch/photos from there, then back down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a challenging hike. We’ll take water breaks as needed, but you should be prepared for the challenge. We’ll aim for a 2.4+ mph pace. Since there is a steady ascent, with over 1500 ft. el. gain, you should be able to do at least 3.2 mph on level ground. Bring enough water! Wear good hiking shoes or boots!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Parking may be limited, but the Visitor Center at 171 Shoreline Dr, Harpers Fy, WV usually has spaces for $20 or a National Park Pass.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please allow for 15 minutes for the shuttle ride into town from the Visitor’s Center, in order to meet us at the town stop no later than 8:30AM. In case of rain, confirmed by the forecastr 2 days before the hike, we’ll re-schedule for October 24.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lunch in town is possible after the hike.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cornellclubdc.org/resources/Pictures/mixer-2020-11-14.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Bring your beverage of choice and make friends with Cornellians from all around the world! Join Cornellians across the generations: from recent graduates to those who are now grandparents to Cornellians.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Mingle in small discussion groups centered around Cornell-related themes. Share your favorite spots in Collegetown, reminisce on the festivities of Spring/Slope Day, and learn how Cornell has changed over the decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;We will use Zoom video chat and split everyone into small breakout rooms, so everyone has a chance to talk and share with just a few people. Everyone will get rotated around, so you will meet many Cornellians through the mixer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Scholarship Gala From the Capital to the Hill: Paving the Path to Big Red Futures (11/14/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;After a decade‑long hiatus, we are thrilled to bring back a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;premier, not&lt;/strong&gt;‑&lt;strong&gt;to&lt;/strong&gt;‑&lt;strong&gt;be&lt;/strong&gt;‑&lt;strong&gt;missed Cornell Scholarship Gala&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;— an evening that will celebrate our DC–Cornell legacy and rally our community around an audacious goal:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;raising at least $100,000 to support deserving DC&lt;/strong&gt;‑&lt;strong&gt;area students.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is more than an event. It’s a moment to stand together and expand the pipeline of Big Red talent from the nation’s capital.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The evening will include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Cocktail hour&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Expansive sit-down buffet dinner featuring renowned Executive Chef Chris Mayo&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Program featuring &lt;strong&gt;Colleen Barry, Inaugural Dean of the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and Ryan Lombardi, Vice President for Student &amp;amp; Campus Life,&lt;/strong&gt; as well as current/prior scholarship awardees.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;DJ dance party for those who don’t want the night to end&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Legacy Worth Lifting&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From Cornell in Washington to the University’s Government Relations presence, the connection between Cornell and the Metropolitan Washington, DC region has always been vibrant and deeply rooted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A cornerstone of that connection is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;endowed scholarships&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;supporting sophomores, juniors, and seniors from our region — honoring proud DC Cornellians&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Howard Epstein ’58, Law ’61; Austin Kiplinger ’39; Robert McKinless ’48; and Robert Ladd ’43.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These funds exist because alumni stepped up. Now it’s our turn to build on that legacy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How You Can Get Involved&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your participation is essential to reaching — and exceeding — our goal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attend!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tickets are on sale now at https://cornellclubdc.org/event-6636692&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bring your people!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Rally your class year, your CBAA network, your affinity group — fill a table with Big Red spirit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sponsor!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Corporate, family, individual, affinity — sponsorships are the engine of our fundraising success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Donate!&lt;/strong&gt; We’re seeking live auction items like boxes or tickets to sporting events, premier hotel or vacation stays, or exclusive experiences like &lt;em&gt;Dinner with the CEO&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Activate your network!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Encourage Cornellians and Cornell‑owned businesses to sponsor or attend.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
