Join us for a presentation from Adam Gamoran, president of the William T. Grant Foundation. He will be speaking about why “The Future of Higher Education is Still Social Impact.”

The last decade has witnessed increasing skepticism about the value of universities. 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

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

The Hybrid Body Lab is dedicated to developing Hybrid Skins—culturally inspired, flexible interfaces that enhance the human experience. This exhibition brings together selected works from the lab spanning 2019 to 2026, alongside projects created through the Hybrid Body Lab Artist Residency.

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.

What if the way you sound during a 911 call could make you a murder suspect?

The Human Ecology Alumni Association (HEAA) invites you to an eye-opening webinar that explores exactly that question.

Join Cornell Human Ecology psychologist Dr. Jessica Salerno as she shares groundbreaking research on how emotional expectations fuel wrongful convictions — and why there's no "one size fits all" response to trauma. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.

How do you communicate? How do you receive information? Through the English and ASL alphabets, insects interacting with one another, and humans performing knowledge-based tasks, we see a variety of options. Here, communication becomes something we see, feel, and embody, without saying a word.

Agricultural biomass represents one of the world’s largest underutilized renewable resources, yet only a small fraction is transformed into high-value materials. Advances in regenerated cellulosic fibers have created new opportunities to diversify feedstocks beyond conventional wood pulp. Despite significant progress, however, relatively few next-generation biomaterials successfully transition from lab to commercial adoption.

This seminar explores the journey from agricultural biomass to regenerated cellulosic materials through the lens of both materials science and commercialization. Using CocoaFiber’s

In the 1990s, Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) were touted as a revolutionary material: stronger and lighter than steel and more conductive than copper and aluminum. Implicitly, this excitement relied on the assumption that CNTs could be assembled into macroscopic fibers whose properties would match nanoscale measurements.  By 2000, the prospect of macroscopic CNT fibers was labeled science fiction.  I will briefly summarize how two decades of scientific and engineering advances have resulted in the development of CNT
