| Last week, President Pollack urged the Trump Administration not to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects individuals who entered the U.S. as minors enabling them to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for work authorization. Earlier today she sent a message to the Cornell community stating the university's continuing commitments to these students in light of today's announcement from the Trump Administration that the DACA program is being rescinded. The Graduate School stands firm in supporting such graduate students through the remainder of their studies at Cornell despite the changes that are occurring at the federal level. Cornell is committed to continuing financial support for currently enrolled graduate students who hold DACA status and receive funding through the university if the DACA program ends. These students will continue to receive funding for the complete length of time offered in their admissions letters (assuming satisfactory academic progress) even if DACA is discontinued and they lose federal work authorization. Fellowship funding will be provided if students are no longer eligible to receive an assistantship requiring work authorization. We encourage graduate students with DACA status to contact Associate Dean Sara Xayarath Hernandez ([email protected]) or Assistant Dean Janna Lamey ([email protected]) so that we can assemble the appropriate financial and other support resources for you. Cornell Law School has a program to provide free legal advice to undocumented Cornell students who may wish to consult with a lawyer about the implications of national immigration policy shifts for their immigration status. A team of law school faculty offers legal assistance in the form of representation for DACA students for which a legal representation fund has been established. For assistance, contact [email protected] or call 607-254-4638. |

With the number of breastfeeding faculty, staff, students, and visitors increasing every year, Cornell needed a plan to manage the 39 designated lactation spaces around campus.
Last year, Cornell's Human Resources secured a
$7,000 grant from the President's Council for Cornell Women (PCCW) that helped to develop a campus-wide master plan ensuring that all mothers across campus will have access to appropriate lactation facilities nearby.
To better meet the needs of graduate and professional students, the
Graduate School provided additional resources to increase the scope and develop a more comprehensive Lactation Room Improvement Project.
"Student mothers who are balancing academic and breastfeeding goals have unique needs that are important to address. The Graduate School eagerly supported this project because of the direct impact appropriate lactation accommodations can have on both of these goals," said Janna Lamey, assistant dean for graduate student life at the Graduate School and chair of the Students with Families Advisory Committee.
Michelle Artibee, project lead and
member of the Students with Families Advisory Committee, explained that the
PCCW grant and additional resources from the Graduate School and Infrastructure, Properties and Planning made it possible to create four new rooms, while 13 others improved or expanded their amenities, such as comfortable and easy to clean seating, mini refrigerators, sound machines, lamps, tables, mirrors, and bulletin boards. Many rooms were also in need of improvements such as signage, paint, flooring, and paper towel dispensers.
"
We continue to look for ways to enhance the quality of life for parents and newborns," Artibee said.

Question
Hi,
I am a second year PhD in STEM field. The other day during a conservation, I learned that my stipend for being a GRA is significantly less then my group mate's stipend. I checked your website about the assistantship rates, and it seems mine is actually less than a basic one.
I am wondering, is this simply because I am paying more tax since I am international student, or would that be any other reason like professors can pay differently to their students? Additionally, is there anything I can do about it?
Appreciate if you could inform me.
Thank you.

Dear Deans,
I read the question from First Year Professional Student about a resource to find a list of all upcoming seminars at Cornell. Please let all graduate students know about this new resource: an events mailer App (developed by Cornell's Physics Department) that allows you to sign up for customized weekly emails that pull events from the Cornell Events Calendar and send them to you, for the events of most interest to you.
Here is the link for the events mailer:
https://apps.univcomm.cornell.edu/events-emailer/ This is a Weekly Events Mailer that allows a user with a Cornell NetID to set up a customizable email that pulls events from the
Cornell Events Webpage .
Thanks!

Hello,
I was wondering if there are any updates on the unionization vote that took place last spring? I was under the impression that the election would decide things one way or the other, but I never heard the final outcome, and it sounds like CGSU is still campaigning...?
With thanks,

Dear Deans:
My question is as follows:
Do you believe it is appropriate that an instructor withhold credit from students who do not adhere to a business casual dress code for a required class in any given program?
Thanks,

Question
Hello Deans,
I am in the process of writing my dissertation. My field permits the use of paper option, and I have a paper where I am the first author that I am using for one of my dissertation chapters. This paper contains all original data, however the student before me that started the project wrote a very nice introduction that was included in one of his chapter dissertation, and we use part of it in the paper (he is co-author).
I was planning to re-write the introduction since it was published in someone else dissertation, but I had a meeting with my committee and they suggest I ask. Since I am using the paper option, should I only show the published paper including the written by someone else introduction and cited? The data, results and almost all of the discussion have not been used in anyone's dissertation.
Thank you,
Dissertation-writing Graduate Student

The Science of Happiness - An Experiment in Gratitude |
Research suggests that people who express gratitude on a regular basis have higher levels of optimism, physical well-being, alertness, and determination! And, as Dr. Robert Emmons, a leading researcher on the topic (and UC-Davis psychology prof), says "... gratitude is really a choice..." Join the Graduate School during TGIF at the Big Red Barn to write a postcard expressing your gratitude to anyone, anywhere in the world. (Find us at the counter across from the adult beverages.) We'll be there with postcards on Friday, September 8 at 4:30. Bring your gratitude and mailing addresses! If you write your note and address it during the event, we'll provide the postage and mail it the next day. Here's how gratitude works: When you practice gratitude, you are distracted from worries and other negative emotions. Identifying the benefits you get from the "good things" in your life provides a more positive impact on the way you think and feel about yourself, others and even your challenges.

Counselors hold walk-in hours at sites around campus Monday through Friday. Speaking with a counselor can help provide insight, solutions, and information about other resources. Sessions are free, confidential and no appointment is necessary. The Fall 2017 semester schedule is available! |
| Group counseling is one of the most effective tools for addressing issues common among college students. For many students, it can be more effective than individual counseling. Our support groups and group therapy offer a safe environment to discuss problems with others who are dealing with similar concerns. Most students - although somewhat apprehensive at first - report that they find the group experience to be helpful far beyond their expectations. There are even separate group counseling opportunities for just graduate and professional students. What you need to know:
- Each group is led by one or more professional counselors
- Groups usually meet weekly for a 90-minute session
- Participation is FREE for registered Cornell students
- Groups are private and confidential; all members must agree that what is disclosed in sessions cannot be shared outside of the group

Every tree has its own song. This is no metaphor. David George Haskell, Pulitzer finalist and winner of the National Academies' Best Book Award, spent years listening to trees, attending to the myriad sounds and stories in their branches, roots, and surroundings. From the Amazon to Jerusalem to Manhattan, every tree has a unique voice that tells of ecology of each place and the many bonds between people and trees. Haskell will discuss how sensory engagement with the world - truly listening - can reveal these hidden strands of life's connections.
