My Cornell Archnemesis: Finding Humor in Rivalry
Before you continue reading I would like to make a disclaimer, if you are my Cornell archnemesis and you are reading this, this is not about you. If you are that person and you think you are, you’re a narcissist. With that being said, I would like to remind I don’t think about you, I don’t care about your opinions and you are probably not reading this because you definitely don’t care about my opinion either (unless they’ve looked at my Linkedin recently, which I believe is probably true). Now that the air has been cleared, the introduction is an exaggeration. I do not have an archnemesis. The term, meaning,…

On Feb. 19, Cornell Senior Visiting Lecturer Dan Rosenberg, English, was named Tompkins County’s 12th Poet Laureate, a role created to honor local outstanding poets and bring poetry beyond the page and into public life. Rosenberg, who has published six works as a poet and currently teaches creative writing at Cornell University, spoke about the importance of poetry and expressed gratitude for the recognition in an interview with The Sun. “The point of [poetry] is to build a community around it and to share that work with people for whom it will matter,” Rosenberg said. “Being named the poet laureate for the county feels like a recognition of that work…

The Advocacy Project at Cornell University: Empowering Student Voices Through Advocacy Training
Whether it’s on a college campus or in an interview, advocacy can be daunting. However, it is necessary on a day-to-day basis — a fact not lost on The Advocacy Project at Cornell. The student-led organization, known as “AdPro,” has been working since 2020 to equip underrepresented individuals or anyone else struggling with advocacy on and off campus with the skills to advocate for themselves personally and professionally. According to Chief Executive Officer Charlotte Nelson ’27, AdPro uses a student-authored curriculum to inform members how to properly advocate for those around them. This includes trainings on “Advocacy 101,” “Public Speaking 101” and “Professionalism 101” — subjects that are a pillar…

‘Human Need, Not Corporate Greed,’ Cornell SIPS Advocacy Members Urge the Public to Stand Up For Science Amid Recent Executive Orders
About 150 School of Integrative Plant Science students, faculty and supporters assembled outside of Mann Library at 3 p.m. on Thursday. Protestors carried signs demanding access to science for all in the face of recent executive orders and echoed chants for “human need, not corporate greed.” Speakers called for members of the Ithaca community to “stand up for science,” emphasizing the loss of research funding through National Institutes of Health grants and the backpedaling of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at universities under the Trump administration. In response to President Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order on Unleashing American Energy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently froze funding to the Partnerships…

Cornell Health Adjusts Gender-Affirming Care Page Following Trump Executive Order
Cornell Health has deleted several lines from its gender-affirming care page. The move follows an executive order from President Donald Trump directing federal entities to withhold funding from medical providers that offer gender-affirming treatments to individuals under 19 years old. Cornell Health’s gender-affirming care page previously noted that “New York State has legislation in place to protect access to gender-affirming care” and that they “do not anticipate any future changes to the services [they] provide,” as of Jan. 9. Cornell Health added that “students enrolled in Cornell’s Student Health Plan and other New York-based employer and exchange insurance plans in 2025 will continue to have coverage for gender-affirming care.” However,…
