Dear Graduate and Professional Students,
Congratulations on the successful conclusion of the Spring 2016 semester.
Last weekend, I presided over the Ph.D. Hooding Ceremony and congratulated newly minted graduates as peers. I encourage those of you who recently graduated to find time to celebrate and savor this remarkable accomplishment.
For students continuing at Cornell in the fall, I encourage you to balance your summer research and scholarship requirements with time spent enjoying summer's slower pace, quiet campus, and beautiful natural areas. Summer is a good time to
replenish your reserves and prepare for a productive fall semester.
Cornell has resources available year-round if you need any help or support.
Individuals who can help:
- Your field's director of graduate studies.
- Your field's graduate field assistant.
- The Graduate School (Janna Lamey, assistant dean for graduate student life, 607-255-5184 or 607-255-5417).
Policies that can support you:
Offices that can be of assistance:
- Gannett CAPS on-call staff is available 24/7 at 607-255-5155. For emergencies, call 911 or contact CU Police at 607-255-1111.
The Office of the Ombudsman is a safe place to turn for help. You can meet confidentially and off the record with an ombudsman to discuss options for any concerns or issues.
The Victim Advocacy Program provides confidential assistance to members of the Cornell community who have experienced harmful, threatening, or violent incidents.
Best wishes for a relaxing and productive summer.
Barbara A. Knuth
Senior Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School
