Scholars@Cornell is an interactive knowledge network that provides visualizations for exploring the scholarly record of faculty members, researchers, and departments at Cornell.
Cornell University Library developed Scholars as a data and visualization service to improve the visibility of Cornell research. Scholars enables you to find domain experts, to explore Cornell scholarship and research - including grants - and to visualize patterns in the data that comprises Cornell scholarship.
Scholars@Cornell answers questions such as which faculty members are doing research in particular subject areas? What does the scholarly record tell us about faculty expertise and co-authorship? Which departments collaborate with each other? What are the patterns of Cornell's interdisciplinary and international research?
Scholars's portfolio of visualizations contains these interactive experiences:
- Research Interests - faculty members mapped to their research areas
- Keyword Clouds - faculty "fingerprints" based on publications
- Global Collaborations - faculty collaborations mapped in the USA and Worldwide
- Grants and Contracts - faculty grant and contract activity, both current and historical

Question
Dear Deans,
Do you know of any graduate students in the life sciences that might be looking to TA in the fall? I'm asking for a "friend" who is looking for someone to take over their teaching responsibilities in BioG 1440 (Intro to Physiology). If so, they can email me directly at
[email protected].
Best,
Grad Student Looking For A Grad Student That Would Like To Teach In The Fall
Question
Hello,
At a recent conference I was informed by a faculty member at a different university that one of the minor members of my special committee did not receive tenure. This information has not been relayed to me by anyone in my department, so I am not sure if this is true, however, I am wondering how this might affect me and how I should proceed.
My specific questions are as follows:
- When are tenure decisions announced/made public to the department and/or graduate students?
- Would it be appropriate for me to ask the chair of my special committee whether the minor member received tenure or not?
- If it is true that the minor member did not receive tenure, will I be required to find a new minor member among the Cornell faculty?
- When professors serving on special committees leave Cornell, do they often continue to serve on the special committee of Cornell students, at least those who they were advising before they left?
Thanks,
Grad Wondering About Faculty Tenure Decision
Email us your question, and a dean will answer within three business days. Some responses will be made anonymous and published.

The Students with Families Advisory Committee needs your input to shape our current Student Child Care Grant Program and evaluate other programs and resources!
We believe that understanding the experiences of Cornell's student-parents is crucial for us to effectively advance support for our student-parent community. Please help us with this by completing the 2017 Student-Parent Survey. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes; responses are anonymous.
Survey goals are:
- Identify characteristics to better describe and advocate for our Cornell student-parents and families.
- Evaluate institutional programs and resources designed to support our student-parent community.
- Understand the dynamics of being a student-parent as it relates to child care responsibilities and degree completion.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Janna Lamey, Assistant Dean for Graduate Student Life and Chair of the Students of Families Advisory Committee, at [email protected]

You have a free day this weekend and the weather looks great. You hate crowds, and you're on a tight budget... so the state parks are not an option. All you really need is peace and quiet, a place to launch a kayak, and a trail that's suitable for a city bike. Where can you go?
Until a few weeks ago, it wasn't easy for Finger Lakes residents to find new places to paddle, cycle, or hike.
But a new website, GoFingerLakes.org, changes the game. Check the appropriate boxes and you'll learn about places like the 6,315-acre High Tor Wildlife Area at the south end of Canandaigua Lake, where you can paddle along the West River, ride on the Lehigh Valley Rail Trail, get lost in an expansive upland plateau, or wade up mysterious Clark Gully which, according to a Seneca Indian legend, contains a crevice from which their ancestors emerged to populate the earth. The website has everything you need - maps, campsite locations, trail descriptions, and gorgeous photos - and, like High Tor, it's free.
