Government & Community Relations


We need your help!

We need the help of Cornell’s alumni and friends in communicating how proposed legislation would impact Cornell and other institutions of higher education. Please join our Legislative Advocacy Network and contact your elected state and federal representatives to urge them to preserve core state and federal support for Cornell and higher education.
