As a result of a recent legislative change, students now receive a form 1098-T in order to claim certain educational credits. The rules also require 1098-T reporting for some students who were not previously included, such as those who receive full tuition scholarships or fellowships. 
While Cornell staff are not legally able to provide tax advice because each student's circumstances will be different, we can explain what you can expect to see in the boxes and what that information might mean.

| Cornell joined an amicus brief filed on March 31, 2017 in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, with about 30 other universities to contest the March 6, 2017 Executive Order issued by President Trump that would suspend for 90 days entry into the U.S. of nationals from six Muslim-majority countries. In joining the brief speaking strongly against this Executive Order Cornell affirmed the importance of our university including individuals from around the world "who speak different languages, practice different religions, and have wide-ranging life experiences that illuminate" our campuses' and support our academic missions. The amici statement goes on to say: "These individuals make significant contributions to their fields of study and to campus life by bringing their unique perspectives and talents to amici's classrooms, laboratories, and performance spaces. These individuals also contribute to the United States and the world more generally by making scientific discoveries, starting businesses, and creating works of literature and art that redound to the benefit of others far beyond amici's campuses. So too, by studying in the United States, they gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for the values we hold dear, including democratic principles and respect for the rule of law, tolerance, and human rights, values which they may then share with citizens of their home countries."

Gabrielle Borenstein |
Gabrielle Borenstein, a doctoral student in archeology, received a National Geographic young explorers grant in support of my dissertation research on "The Logics of Egalitarianism: Materiality and Meaning Making in the Kura-Araxes Horizon (3500-2400 BCE)." National Geographic young explorers grants provide opportunities to youn
g scholars to carry out field-based scientific research, exploration, and conservation. This funding will support her archaeological excavations this summer in Armenia at the Bronze Age site of Gegharot.
Jiajun Gu, Ph.D. student (MAE) in the Zhang group, received the
Excellent Poster Presentation Award at the 2017 American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting for his work "Intercomparison of Three Source Estimation Methods in a Building Downwash Environment: Applicability, Limitations and Research Needs."
Sage Designs, a team consisting of graduate and undergraduate students (MAE), has been selected as a finalist in the Innovating Aging in Place Design Challenge hosted by the Stanford Center on Longevity. The team was selected for its design of the Seatcase--a carry-on suitcase which doubles as a seat for the traveler. They will compete on March 30 at Stanford University against eight other competitors from around the globe.
Ibrahim Issa, a Ph.D. student (ECE) and Ji Kim '16 Ph.D. (ECE), are co-winners of the 2017 ECE Outstanding Thesis Research Award. Issa, an advisee of Professor Aaron Wagner, introduces in his thesis a new information-theoretic and operationally defined measure that he calls "maximal leakage," which can be subsequently used to study and design mechanisms to prevent information leakage for communication security. Kim, an advisee of Professor Christopher Batten, proposes in his thesis a new approach that enables developers to begin with a standard task-parallel application for multicore processors, and then to automatically map this application to a novel loop-task accelerator platform.
Michael Vilkhovoy, a Ph.D. student (CBE), was awarded top poster at the IET/SynbiCITE Engineering Biology Conference for his work on first-principles sequence-specific modeling of in-vitro transcription and translation systems for next generation manufacturing of glycoproteins. |

Question:
Hello Deans,
In a recent Ask a Dean, you answered a question about graduate funding.
You cited many current expenses, including $250,000/year for childcare grants.
In order to better contextualize these numbers and in the spirit of transparency, I wonder if you could share current dean salaries, and the yearly percent raises to those salaries in the last decade? If nothing else, is the cost of one dean comparable to the cost of funding all graduate childcare?
If money is so tight, I wouldn't expect administrative salaries to have increased very much, especially considering temporary cuts to RA stipends in 2014 and cuts to engineering summer stipends during the summer of 2016.
Respectfully yours,
A Grad Skeptical of Trickle-down Economics
Hi Deans,
I am an Employee Degree Program (EDP) participant enrolled in a social sciences MS program. I have been chasing this issue down on my end, but my research has led me to the grad school at-large.
Per the 1/17/17 email from the Graduate School, I should have been automatically enrolled in a thesis research course.
I tried to track this down through my college registrar's office, but received word that this enrollment can only be managed by the Graduate School. In looking at my records, I wasn't enrolled in the research course for the Fall semester either (my first matriculated semester).
I am hoping that you can point me in the right direction to a person or office that I can reach out to in order to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Best,
EDP Student
Question:
Hi,
I attended the Pie with the Deans yesterday and left my small black and grey gym bag in the conference room. Could you please tell me if you still have it or if you sent it to lost and found?
Thank you!
Best,
Pie-Eater
Email us your question, and a dean will answer within three business days. Some responses will be made anonymous and published.

| Tips and Takeaways from GPWomeN-PCCW Speaker Series At the recent workshop, Professor Jill Gross discussed how to negotiate in the workplace and gave participants the following tips: Tip 1-Don't buy into negotiation myths! Women can and should negotiate to improve initial job offers, terms of employment, job assignments, promotions, deadlines and other key factors that impact professional success. 
Tip 2-Negotiation is persuasive communication and can take several forms. We typically think of negotiation as a competitive and adversarial process, but integrative negotiation is interest-based and focuses on problem solving. In the work place, using problem-solving techniques to create value for both parties and determine a zone of possible agreement is key for continuing relationships. Tip 3- Prepare for negotiation by assessing your interests, your rights, and factors that increase/decrease your power. Compile information such as comparable salaries and benefits from people within your company/organization and at similar entities. Write up a list of questions that will help you obtain relevant information to strengthen your arguments. Tip 4- Practice, practice, practice! Before entering a negotiation conversation, be sure to practice what you will say and how you will respond in different scenarios. Tip 5-For more information, be sure to check out Andrea Schneider's TED Talk on negotiation and the PCCW-GPWomeN Speakers Series recording of this event!

Many people use very weak passwords and tend to reuse them on multiple websites and services. We do this because it takes a lot of brain power to remember different, strong passwords for each site. As we've seen with the recent password leak with Yahoo, Tumblr and others, if you use the same password on multiple sites, each site that used that same password is now vulnerable. What is the solution? A password manager keeps all of your passwords stored securely and takes the stress of password organization to a minimum. There are many password managers out there but we've found the best in the industry to be LastPass. The desktop version is free and for $12/year for premium, you can synchronize all of your passwords to your mobile device. Visit LastPass for more info - https://lastpass.com/.
