LECTION TO
one of the distinguished national academies and
societies is among the most prestigious honors a faculty member can
attain. Membership affirms excellence in education, research, scholarship and creative work, as well as dedication to the highest standards of one’s field.
The large number of Cornell faculty who have achieved this recognition is
a testament to the overall excellence of scholarship and discovery on our
campuses, and I am proud to participate in this celebration of our current
and newly selected members.
On behalf of the entire Cornell community, I congratulate the members of the distinguished national academies on their scientific and scholarly
achievements and their commitment to our university.
