These are inspiring times atop East Hill and everywhere in the world where Cornell can be found. Ever since Ezra Cornell laid the cornerstone of his inspiring vision—to found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study. Cornell University has served as a place where people dare to pursue big dreams.
Cornell has launched the most ambitious campaign in its history. A successful campaign will help Cornell be the best research university for undergraduate education; set the standard for interdisciplinary collaboration in areas of critical social importance; make its approach to its public mission a model for higher education; and fully realize its role as land-grant institution to the world.
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering is an integral part of the University Campaign. Our vision, is aligned with that of the University vision. We want nothing less than to make Cornell the best of its kind, a beacon among the world’s leading universities. The time has come to grow the university’s financial security to help us realize our dreams.
Join us, and together we will ensure that in 2015, when our leaders retrace our university’s history of innovation and discovery and look to its future, their gaze will be upward and optimistic, and their imaginations free to pursue ambitious new visions of their own: with no boundaries to the worlds they may explore, and no limits to what they may achieve.
