Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo
Connecting Cornellians to each other, the University, and Buffalo since 1880
With the health and safety of our community in mind, we will be hosting our annual meeting via Zoom this year. Join us on May 20th at 7pm for an evening of Club news, the election of your board officers, and a lecture from Jessica Martinez, Director of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell.
Jessica Martinez was appointed to lead the museum in 2019, and is its fourth director since its founding in 1973.
We are a group of Cornellians from all colleges, degrees, and class years! We would love to have YOU join our team to bring new events and ideas for ways to bring Cornellians together. From event planning, website management, budgeting, social media, and more, there’s probably a way for you to get involved with Cornell, the Buffalo community, and other alumni.
We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo, and will strive to build a board that reflects the diversity of our Cornell Buffalo community. Interested? Please reach out to our past president and Nominating Committee Chair, Jack Mc Gowan, ’80 (jpjpg@verizon.net) with a copy of your resume and why you’re interested in the club no later than March 31, 2019.
Elections are held at our annual meeting. While the exactly date for our annual meeting is still unknown, we are moving forward with nominations to ensure a smooth process as we transition fiscal years.
More details will be shared as soon as we have them. In the meantime, we hope all in our Cornell family are staying safe and healthy.
Cornell Giving Day is a 24-hour marathon of generosity, fun, and Big Red spirit. On 3/12, join your Cornell community to make a difference for students, Cornell, and the world in just a single day. On Giving Day, you have the power to create big change as your gifts combine with thousands of others. And with gift matches and unlocking challenges running all day long, every dollar you give goes even further. Save the date to meet goals and break records, fund the areas you love at Cornell, and leave the world just a little better than you found it!
On Saturday, January 11, Alumni and families met at The Teacher’s Desk in Buffalo, to sort and organize school supplies for local teachers, as part of the annual Cornell Cares Day. At The Teacher’s Desk, teachers “shop” for free for school supplies for their students in need.
