C.U.Updates Financial Aid Loan Policy, Seeking Greater Fairness

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun Managing Editor

Cornell’s Admissions and Financial Aid Working Group — which was previously considering ending need-blind admissions for transfer students and other measures to save financial aid money — has decided to alter Cornell’s loan policy in order to more accurately reflect current U.S. income distributions, the University announced Tuesday.

The new policy, which will affect transfer and freshmen students entering in fall 2018, will increase the family income bracket for reduced loans from $60,000-$75,000 to $60,000$85,000. The maximum annual loan amount for those affected by the change — students from families earning between $75,000 and $85,000 — will decrease from $5,000 to $2,500.

In addition, the policy will shift the $75,000-

$120,000 family income bracket to $85,000$135,000 and decrease the maximum annual loan from $7,500 to $5,000 for families with an annual income between $120,000 and $135,000.

The rest of the financial need will be met with grant aid, Senior Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Barbara Knuth announced.

Families with less than $60,000 in annual income will continue to receive financial aid packages with grant aid in lieu of loans, and families with less than $60,000 in annual income and less than $100,000 in assets will continue to have no parent contributions.

“This change is important for Cornell, because it enables the university to continue enrolling a socio-economically diverse undergraduate population,” Knuth, who chaired the AFAWG, said in the Cornell Chronicle. “The

Pro-Tibet Signs Return After Last Month’s Theft

See FINANCIAL AID page 4

By YUICHIRO KAKUTANI Sun Staff Writer

After posters depicting Tibetans self-immolating in protest were snatched from the Arts Quad by unknown assailants last month, the organizers who put up the signs recreated the same exhibit Monday.

The attempt to suppress their message did not affect their resolve to spread the word about what is happening in Tibet, said Tenzin Dechen ’18, president of Tibet Initiative at Cornell.

“We wanted to persist despite the effort of some individuals to quell the message,” she said in an email to The Sun.

Action,Fear After False Report Of Immigration Agent at C.U.

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS Sun City Editor

Federal immigration enforcement agents were not at Cornell on Tuesday despite widespread alarm regarding reported sightings, which spread while the University refused for hours to confirm that rumors shared on social media and by email were false.

“Earlier today, an independent contractor for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) arrived on the Ithaca campus to conduct a routine background check related to an individual’s application for a job with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” President

Martha Pollack said in a statement.

When the contractor identified himself at a visitor booth, Pollack said, “a false rumor quickly circulated across campus and on social media that the visitor was an officer of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“It is understandable, in light of recent, local action by ICE, that this news — while inaccurate — would be met with great concern,” Pollack said.

Emails from department chairs, concerned faculty, campus groups and the Office of the University Registrar flooded many students’ inboxes Tuesday See RUMORS page 5

“It was more time and money to recreate the display, but if it means one more person learns about the situation in Tibet or about the self-immolations, then it will all have been worth it.”

The new exhibit now features information about TIC’s facebook group “so that they can come to us with questions ... challenge our perspectives or show support.”

TIC has taken several measures to deter any assailants from repeating their acts, Dechen said.

First Female Sun Sports Editor,Vietnam War Reporter Dies Covering stories firsthand from war zone, Anne Morrissy Merrick ’55 broke professional barriers

By EMMA NEWBURGER Sun Assistant News Editor

After a trailblazing 40-year career in journalism, Anne Morrissy Merick ’55 died of complications from dementia in Naples, Fla. on May 2, according to her daughter Katherine Anne Engleke.

Morrissy Merick, whose career spanned from covering sports to covering the battlefield during the Vietnam War, was an active advocate for women’s rights in journalism.

As a Cornell undergraduate in 1954, she received national recognition when she became the first female sports editor of The Sun. Later that year, she became the first woman credentialed to sit in the press box at the Yale Bowl, Yale’s football stadium.

In an alumni blog, William F. Waters ’54 said that her position at The Sun was a “gender milestone” greeted with “snarky condescension” by the male dominated profession.

For example, New York Herald Tribune columnist Red Smith wrote in 1954 that she was a “slick little chick whose

U.K. Astronomer Royal Warns‘There’s No Planet B’

By ELIZABETH STELL Sun Staff Writer

If aliens had been watching our planet for the last billions of years, “what might they see if they watch for another hundred years?” asked Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal of the United Kingdom, when he gave the inaugural Carl Sagan Lecture Monday night.

Looking ahead toward the potential and probable technological advances expected in this century both on Earth and in space, Rees spoke to the benefits and risks they pose as humans push forward in this defining century.

A board member of the Carl Sagan Institute and Emmy and Peabody award-winning producer Anne Druyan introduced Rees’ presentation by drawing a parallel between Sagan — a renowned professor of astronomy at Cornell — and Rees as “citizen-scientists.” “[Sagan] was also a citizen-scientist who was so conscientious he mounted an independent campaign without any help from anyone to fight for the future of this planet,” Druyan said.

Rees began his lecture on this point, stressing the lessons he has taken from Sagan and their relevance in today’s world.

“We need [Sagan’s] optimistic vision of life’s destiny in this world and perhaps far beyond this world,” he said. “We need to think globally. We need to think rationally. We need to think longterm.”

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Progressing from ‘Political Pessimism’ | Rees speaks at the inaugural Carl Sagan Lectures in Call Auditorium on Tuesday, celebrating the astronomer’s optimism for Earth’s future.

“We could universally degrade our biosphere,” Rees said. “And advanced technology, if misdirected, could cause a devastating setback to our civilization.”

Rees cited the example of Google’s DeepMind robot, which recently beat the human world champion at the Chinese strategy game Go, to elaborate on these potential setbacks.

“Advances are patchy. Robots can do all these things, but they’re still clumsier than a child, moving pieces on a real chessboard,” Rees said. “Will this new machine age be like earlier destructive “We need [Sagan’s] optimistic vision of technologies, life’s destiny in this world. ... We need to the car for instance, and think globally.” create as many jobs as it Lord Martin Rees destroys?”

Responding Rees emphasized the impor- to this question, Rees said “some tance of human agency in this blue-collar jobs, like plumbing mission of global thinking.

robots will surely be transformed.”

“I hope people will follow the robots, though it will be as riskseeking adventurers, rather than any practical goers,” he said.

“These exploits should be promoted as adventures or extreme sports. The phrase ‘space tourism’ should be avoided because that lulls people into unrealistic confidence.”

Though space presents opportunities for exploration, Rees reminded the audience that people’s attention should remain on Earth.

“Don’t ever expect mass emigration from Earth,” Rees said.

“No way in our solar system offers an environment even as clement as the Antarctic or the top of Everest. It’s a dangerous delusion to think that space offers an escape from the Earth’s problems. There’s no Planet B.” Without an escape, Rees said that the next 100 years may determine our fate.

“Even in the concertinaed time scale that astronomers have envisioned, extending billions of years into the future, as well as into the past, this century may be a defining era,” he said.

Rees also said that we can have

hope for the next century, keeping Sagan’s mission in mind.

“Though we live under the shadow of these threats, and may be political pessimists, we must remain techo-optimism,” he said.

“Advances in AI, biotech, nanotech and space could booster the developing, as well as the devel-

oped, world. If we don’t responsibly progress in these new technologies, we won’t achieve the kind of vision that Carl and all the rest of us would like to see.”

Group Drops Need-Aware Transfer Admissions FINANCIAL AID

Continued from page 1

policy change addresses the issue of fairness by rebalancing family income requirements that were originally established about a decade ago.”

These changes were ap proved by President Martha Pollack and Provost Michael Kotlikoff. Kotlikoff had tasked the group with determining whether undergraduate financial aid was fairly distributed across socio-economic groups and whether aid resources should be redistributed, according to the University.

Although Knuth announced at last week’s Student Assembly meeting that the AFAWG rejected the option for needaware transfer admissions, the University did not specify whether other proposed changes — which were previously leaked to The Sun — were also rejected.

“This change ... enables the university to continue enrolling a socioeconomically diverse undergraduate population.”

Barbara Knuth According to leaked documents from the AFAWG that listed the proposed changes, some other cost savings measures could be implemented to cancel out the additional costs of changing maximum loan cut offs.

Knuth did not respond to a request for comment.

Other options in the leaked documents included admitting more international students with no financial need to increase revenue or using “preferential packaging” to give certain students more grant aid in financial aid packages.

Fear Follows ICE Rumors Tibetan Initiative at Cornell Receives Students update campus while C.U. stays quiet More Funding, Signs Return to Quad RUMORS

Continued from page 1

morning after students and staff reported the sighting of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer, highlighting the Cornell community’s fear after last week’s arrest of an Ithaca resident by ICE officers.

False warnings of ICE and CBP agents proliferated on Facebook, Twitter and local media on Tuesday morning as well, while campus officials declined to speak on the record about the incident as Pollack’s statement was drafted, which was not released until 1:30 p.m.

“There are so many conflicting sources scaring the shit out of people,” Vanessa Navarro Rodriguez ’18 told The Sun shortly before the University released its statement.

“I’m shocked [Cornell has] not handled it. Everyone is scared.”

Nearly two hours before the University released Pollack’s statement, however, two campus groups, Cornell DREAM Team and La Asociación Latina, posted updates on their Facebook pages alerting students that the initial rumors were false and including screenshots of what appeared to be a text message from Cornell Police Chief Kathy Zoner debunking the CBP spotting.

Faculty and students noted privately and publicly that if immigration enforcement agents had been on campus, the University’s response may have not come until after enforcement agents left. The social media posts from the DREAM Team and LAL, as well as emails from Cornell Coalition for Inclusive Democracy, these people said, kept students informed while the administration stayed silent.

The messages and posts, Prof.

Ella Maria Diaz, English and Latina/o studies, “really shows that the broader campus community is committed to the safety of their students and each other.”

“The rate at which information was shared, I found it to be deeply satisfying and energizing, to see how many people on this campus care and are actually deeply concerned for each other.”

Pollack, in her statement, added that “Cornell representatives,

including Cornell University Police Department, will comply with lawfully issued subpoenas and warrants,” but that “it is neither the university’s practice nor expectation to function as an agent of the federal government regarding enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

Prof. Shannon Gleeson, industrial and labor relations, said today’s rumors were “a wake-up for all parties involved.”

“The campus climate has tended to be somewhat flippant” on these issues, Gleeson, who is an immigration scholar, told The Sun. Tuesdsay’s events “make it clear to folks that this is an issue that has great mental health implications, especially at this time of the semester.”

Zoner said in March that Cornell Police “will not seek immigration status information of any individual in the course of its law enforcement activities, unless necessary to investigate criminal activity by that individual or required by law.”

Zoner also said CUPD would act within the bounds of the sanctuary legislation passed by Ithaca and Tompkins County, which generally prohibit city and county employees from asking about a person’s immigration status. The city legislation also restricts Ithaca Police from detaining someone for ICE, in most cases, from complying with a civil immigration detainer from ICE or CBP without a judicial warrant.

Gleeson said Tuesday was “a dry run” for a scenario in which ICE or CBP agents do show up on or near campus, seeking to arrest an undocumented student.

“If students feel under threat and they sound an alarm and they send out information ... they should be commended for that,” Gleeson said. “The upshot of this is that it activated a network of information that is important for us to have.”

“I think it maybe took until today to understand the urgency of having that protocol in place,” she said.

As we are deeply troubled by the events of the previous week, several members of the senior class would like to issue the following statement of solidarity to the Cornell community. While we may be departing soon, we all share a common love for our alma mater and, more importantly, our fellow students. As such, we wanted to come together one last time as a group of student leaders from all parts of campus to reaffirm our commitment to the uplift of Cornell — all of Cornell.

The unwelcomed presence of ICE in the greater Ithaca area and their willingness to brazenly invade our community and detain our community members for no other reason than their documentation status is unconscionable and inhumane. As we are aware that members of our campus community feel unsafe in the wake of what frankly amounts to an abduction in broad daylight, we would like to say — unequivocally — that you belong here, you have value and we stand with you.

We call upon those who are in positions of safety to sincerely and effectively support those who are vulnerable; we call upon all Cornellians to take care of one another, to live with empathy and love.

In the fight against injustice, compassion is a form of resistance.

Undocumented students should feel safe on this campus — any person truly should mean any person if you are committed to the founding ideals of our alma mater. Be kind to one another instead of perpetuating hate and intolerance. If you are unsure of the best ways to help, ask.

There are various groups on our campus and in the greater Ithaca community who have been and will continue to be on the front lines of this struggle — support them as they ask to be supported.

Finally, know that regardless of your status or background you are a valued part of this community, and we will continue to support you as alumni as we hope our organizations will continue to support you here on the Hill.

OPINION

Graduating Columnists

Jason Jeong | Jeongo Unchained

fin.

I

’ve been told by my editor that this will be the last opinion piece that The Sun will publish this academic year. I was originally going to write a piece of triumphant platitude that would have ended by quoting Dylan Thomas’ “Do not go gentle into that good night,” but realized that by doing so, I would be going pretty fucking gently into that good night. So I will spare you the TEDTalk, because that’s what ILR classes are for anyways.

Instead, I want to talk about something much more fundamental and simple: nostalgia. As another school year comes to an end and I see close friends ready to leave Ithaca, it’s a sentiment that I’ve been thinking about often these days. Nostalgia is a funny feeling. It envelops you with warmth, but it is colored with melancholy. It shrouds our memories with a honeycoloured mist, turning even the most ordinary memory into something deeply personal and precious. It can be tainted by regret, blurred by “what if ”s or blushed with embarrassment, but the reason nostalgia is so sacred is because it is something that is forever lost. Lost love, lost youth, lost innocence — we covet the past because it is composed of the moments we will never have again.

We take pictures to capture even the most minute details of the present. God knows how many hard drives worth of data you’ve spent to capture Snapchat stories in filthy annex parties

I’ve always felt that happiness was too fickle of a metric to measure my life with; instead, I measure my life by the number of close relationships I’ve built and the list of fulfilling experiences I’ve had. in Collegetown. Or how many time you’ve paused by the stairs leading up the Slope to catch a picture of a particularly beautiful sunset. However, no picture we take can ever capture the full palette of pastels and oranges that paints West Campus from our view from the top of the hill. More importantly, no picture will ever recreate the carefree air that you breathe or the childlike bliss you feel when skipping class to bathe in the sunlight of the first day of spring. Nor can you recreate the coziness of friendship while sharing while going through pitchers at Regent on a Thursday evening. We take pictures not to capture the landscape or our environment, but the emotions of a particular instant.

I’ve always felt that happiness was too fickle of a metric to measure my life with; instead, I measure my life by the number of close relationships I’ve built and the list of fulfilling experiences I’ve had. Finding meaning in meaningful people and building meaningful memories seem much more tangible and less cheap than simply seeking happiness. The reason why our memories are so cherished is because time is evanescent, and by extension, our recollection of these moments is imbued significance by the people we spend them with and how we spend them. The March morning you first saw your college sweetheart walk out of Goldwin Smith, the autumn afternoons tossing a Frisbee across falling yellow and red foliage on the Arts Quad, or those freshman nights stumbling back to North from Collegetown below a tapestry of stars — these moments, seemingly insignificant at the time, are what shape and become our conception of college.

As nostalgia usually works, the humdrum of Cornell will bring both fondness and wistfulness one day in the future. We’ll scroll through old Instagram pictures and flip through photo albums that will invariably bring up memories of “that one time in college” and all the emotions that came with it. By then, we probably won’t be able to shotgun as many beers or sled down the snow-covered slope without major injury. But the loss of our past is not something we should mourn. It is something we should embrace for having once lived.

My Hope For C.U. Jewish Community A

few years removed from college, I can still remember the uncomfortable, awkward and somewhat silencing experience of attending a Cornell Hillel Israeli Independence Day celebration while my fellow classmates stood outside, protesting the event and what it stood for. I was told that our Israel Day celebration was “apolitical,” and that celebrating the country’s birth was by no means taking a stance on the political situation there.

Something about this didn’t sit right with me. But I did not speak up, because I was not willing to jeopardize my relationships with my friends and community.

Desmond Tutu, the South African social activist, once said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” As I move through life and continue to reflect back on this experience, I have come to the conclusion that in being neutral in this situation of injustice, I had chosen the side of the oppressor. So this past Tuesday, when I opened my Facebook feed to find out that something similar had occurred at this year’s Cornell Hillel Israeli Independence Day celebration, I was moved to respond.

I write this column today as someone who is proud to say they served on their Cornell Hillel Student Executive Board, who developed a deeper spiritual connection to Judaism through Hillel and who made some of their closest friends at Cornell through Hillel. I also write this column as someone who is proudly antioccupation and is committed to a

fairer and more just reality for all Israelis and Palestinians.

The situation in Israel and Palestine is by no means an easy or simple one. At every turn, it appears complicated and nuanced. And in my experience, one narrative can oftentimes dominate at the expense of another. Learning and engaging with the issues is the only way to face them, and the more I have learned about the situation, the more I am motivated to work for freedom and equality for all Palestinians and Israelis. Working on this issue feels vital to my own

the oppressor. We as a Jewish community need to be having conversations about what we can do to work for justice in Israel and Palestine, and college campuses seem like a very appropriate place to begin these conversations.

Since college, I have had the opportunity to organize with fellow young Jews around Israel and Palestine and work toward a fairer reality for all Israelis and Palestinians. I don’t think I realized how much I needed this until I found it, and it has been a life-changing experience to organize with my Jewish peers around this issue.

Having had many similar experiences growing up and in college, we are able to create both deep and welcoming dialogue that continues to fosters my views and motivate me towards action.

And in doing this work Jewishly, I demonstrate that I am proud of my identity and want to use the power in that identity to work for what is right.

I hope that Hillels and college campuses can become a place where Jewish students are welcome to be proudly Jewish while engaging with their varied views on the situation in Israel and Palestine. I hope that where I am in my Jewish journey, there would still be a place for me at Hillel, and in the broader Cornell Jewish community, today.

I believe Hillel and its limiting tenets around conversations about Israel do college students a disservice by not creating a diverse Jewish space on campus for students to wrestle with the situation in Israel and Palestine.

Jewish identity because so much of what happens there is done in the Jewish people’s name.

I believe Jewish students on campus who are grappling with the situation in Israel and Palestine deserve a space to do just that. It is central to Judaism to struggle with a question, and we are continually encouraged to do so as a Jewish people. I believe Hillel and its limiting tenets around conversations about Israel do college students a disservice by not creating a diverse Jewish space on campus for students to wrestle with the situation in Israel and Palestine. And in not looking at the issue with a critical eye or elevating under heard narratives, we will have chosen the side of

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 3-D Coming to Cornell Cinema Friday

BY JULIA CURLEY Sun Staff Writer

Cornell Cinema is inaugurating a new 3-D projection system Friday night after a grant and a successful crowdfunding campaign.

In 2016, Cornell Cinema received a capital equipment grant from the New York State Council on the Arts offering the campus theatre half of the installation cost for a 3-D system. A crowdfunding campaign launched in November matched the funds — remarkably quickly — and this Friday Mad Max: Fury Road inaugurates the flinch worthy viewing equipment.

For many people, myself included, 3-D film still feels new.

Cornell Cinema hopes to share the medium’s weighted cinematic history. The first 3-D exhibition dates back to 1915 and, since that time, the stereoscopic method attracts Hollywood, independent, documentary, foreign and experimental film productions.

Cornell Cinema dedicates itself to a holistic view of cinematic entertainment, and its lack of 3-D offerings represented a void in the theater’s mission. The upgrade

will, according to a Cornell Cinema press release, “close the gap in their exhibition capabilities and enable them to fully accommodate its mission to offer selections from the full spectrum of film and electronic media.” With the way art-house, foreign films and cinematic restorations have been moving in the last several years, Cornell Cinema Manager Douglas McLaren, says that “3-D film was something that we needed to include in our programming.”

Until recently, filming, producing and screening 3-D films was expensive and difficult. Cornell Cinema watched and engaged with this developmental history Leaping firsthand. Since its founding in 1970, Cornell Cinema showed most films on reel-to-reel 35 mm projectors.

Reel-to-reel, despite its seemingly antique form, allowed for some

COLLAGE BY JOHN SCHROEDER ’74

Out of the Screen | Willard Straight Theater, home to Cornell Cinema. very limited exploration into the third dimension. For the first time in 1998, and a second time in 2004, Cornell Cinema invested in special lenses, rented a silver

screen to put in front of the regular one and bought disposable glasses to offer Cornell students a rare, but viable, 3-D experience.

Each effort added up to a total of nine sold-out shows.

3-D film engages patrons. It offers something more real than regular film, yet it provides an escape from an individual reality.

McLaren contends that “3-D cinema, when well executed, creates an immersive you-are-there experience.” The 3-D technique, more so than any other style, gives viewers the power to forget where they actually are and engage with the “you-are-there.”

3-D cinema encapsulates the tension between the traditionalist’s affection for reel-to-reel film as opposed to new digital technology.

The reel-to-reel format ruled Hollywood cinema entirely until the early 2000s. In 2005, many theatres shut off the lights on 35 mm projectors and bought into drip feed digital formats. In 2013, Cornell Cinema, too, added digital projection to its theatre menu.

Digital film allows for easy screening in the 3-D. It makes film feel touchable and so it makes it more real. Old time moviemakers and Luddites disagree. Steven McQueen, an Academy Award winning director, argues, “There’s something romantic about [reelto-reel] film…some sort of magic — it’s almost like it breathes. Film feels much more…I don’t know.

Maybe ‘human?’” 3-D film presents a problem for loyalists like McQueen. The medium relies upon the digital format for simplicity’s sake — to avoid that silver screen and special lenses. It offers something more corporeal through a notably less tactile process.

Reel-to-reel film “breathes” from up inside the projection room, but 3-D digital allows viewers to see and, very nearly, feel breath on screen.

Subjectively, 3-D digital creates something more real than reel-toreel. The tactility of the process

falls away, replaced by an on screen sense of touch.

The 3-D medium intertwines itself in cinematic history and, in doing so, embodies Cornell Cinema’s mission. Investigations into the third-dimension exaggerate film’s general technological progression. 3-D roots itself in traditional reel-to-reel and expands through digital bits and bytes. From paper glasses to the IMAX Ray-Ban style recyclables, 3-D’s development follows a defined trajectory over the course of many years.

Cornell Cinema dedicates itself to offering a wholesome cinematic education. If one form of filmic media engages with the z-axis, so too must the campus theatre. The new Dolby technology, installed in Willard Straight Theatre, widens the institute’s scope — virtually and historically. According to McLaren, “the Dolby 3-D system is a more robust system than what one typically finds at a multiplex. Because of its design, the image is brighter and the sight lines are much better. You can sit off-center from the image and still get a very good 3-D effect, which is not the case for other systems.”

May 12 marks a new dimension in Cornell Cinema’s development. Mad Max: Fury Road — a post-apocalyptic film chosen by theatre patrons in an online poll — inaugurates a 3-D system that will expand its view from the futuristic to the antique. Looking forward, this next Fall will bring a 3-D cinema film series to the theatre featuring rare early 20th century shorts, classics from the ’50s, art house documentaries and recent Hollywood hits. The new Dolby system will bolster the Cornell Cinema’s primary mission — first to educate and second to entertain — with an ever-wider range of films and tactility.

TOP SENIOR MALE ATHLETE

Winkler’s Journey From Farm to Ithaca to Olympics

By CHARLES COTTON Sun Assistant Sports Editor

Few can lay claim to the accomplishments over the last several years that Cornell men’s track and field thrower Rudy Winkler can.

Winkler represented both his school and country at the Rio Olympics last summer, and the outgoing senior has set numerous Ivy and meet records records along the way.

Born in the rural town of Sand Lake, N.Y. Winkler grew up lending his parents a hand on the family dairy farm. He had always played baseball from a young age, but turned to track and field after his parents decided the extra exercise would be good for the young boy.

Bigger than the average kid, Winkler was not built like a runner, and he took up throwing in his lower school days “I was pretty overweight, so my parents were trying to get me to do stuff to lose weight,” he told The Sun in a recent profile. After trying out shotput and discus, Rudy ultimately stuck with hammer throw, and he found success almost immediately.

And after going to

nationals his freshman year of high school, Winkler began to attract the attention of major NCAA Division I programs. He ultimately chose Cornell over schools like UCLA and Virginia Tech, given the balance between “good academics, good athletics” and the fact that it was “still pretty close to home.”

Since arriving in Ithaca, Winkler has put together quite the career. After overcoming a torn meniscus that kept him out his entire freshman year, he has never looked back. Competing in the weight throw inside and the hammer throw outside, Winkler has won the title in every Heps tournament he has participated in. He has been named a first team All-American multiple times and has set school records in both the weight and the hammer along with several academic awards along the way.

“It’s been pretty cool at Cornell — I’ve been able to win Heps every time I’ve been in both the weight and the hammer,” he said. “It’s definitely a nice confidence booster.”

At the end of his junior season, participating in the Rio Olympics became a real possibility for Winkler.

“I’d just be walking around the village and see people like Michael Phelps — it’s definitely inspiring.”

Rudy Winkler season, and a first place finish at the Olympic trials in July with 76.76 meters, Winkler put himself in prime position to earn a spot on the team.

“I was on my way to a meet in El Salvador and had just landed in Houston when I got an email from [USA Track and Field],” he said. “They just told me that I made it. In addition to winning the trials, that feeling was pretty awesome.”

While Winkler’s first olympics did not go exactly as planned, his experience was nothing short of amazing.

Got milk? | Once an extra hand on the family dairy farm, Winkler eventually emerged as a star on his high school track and field team as early as his freshman year.

“It was surreal especially since [competing in Rio] wasn’t something I planned for really,” he said. “I’d just be walking around the village and see people like Michael Phelps — it’s definitely inspiring. You’re in this place with all the best athletes in the world, and you realize

“Throughout your time at Cornell ... you struggle trying to think of what is the most important thing ... to leave behind.”

Rudy Winkler they’re just normal people — normal people who work really hard. It makes you think that anyone can really do it.”

On the day of his event, Winkler faulted on two of his first three throws and threw 71.89 meters on the other.

He finished in 18th overall and was unable to advance to the finals.

“I didn’t compete that well but I felt really good, and overall I’m really happy with how I did at my first Olympics and my first senior competition,” he said.

In his final year at Cornell, Winkler had another dominant season: two more Heps titles, a fourth-place finish in NCAAs in the weight and another date at the NCAA outdoor tournament at the end of May. The graduating senior certainly looks back fondly on his time at Cornell.

“Throughout your time at Cornell you do a lot, and you struggle trying to think of what is the most important thing that you want to leave behind,” Winkler said. “There isn’t just one thing — it’s everything and the entire experience combined. The best advice you could ever give is to not overthink things, and just do what you know is going to make you happy and successful.”

Whether that comes in the form of competing in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, coaching kids down the road or putting his information science degree to work, no one should be surprised by Winkler’s future success and determination.

In addition to the scoring title, Marshall caps off her career with one AllECAC second team selection, two first-team All-Ivy selections, as well as a second-team All-Ivy selection while becoming the first player in program history to earn Player of the Week honors at least 10 times.

Needless to say, Marshall has left quite a long-lasting legacy.
