RECAP OF EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE DURING OUR TIME IN I THACA

SPRING 2020

‘We’re in fairly uncharted waters’

Administrators Explain March 13 Policy Twist That Immediately Cancelled Classes Until April 6 Shocked students hurriedly arrange travel from Ithaca Just as students booked flights and bus tickets, they faced the latest COVID19 pandemic shock on Friday morning, March 13 when President Martha E. Pollack cancelled classes until April 6. The replacement of in-person classes with online instruction as of April 6 had been previously announed on March 10. Uncertainty now permeates Cornell’s campus, as students have now been told to leave as soon as possible. Looming Concern

The surprise announcement reflects a looming concern that the current outbreak will worsen by spring break. Deputy Provost John Siliciano conceded that “in all likelihood it’s going to show up in the county if it hasn’t already.” Even though Tompkins County said that there were still no confirmed cases in a March 13 afternoon press conference, Tompkins County administrator Jason Molino declared a state of emergency, shuttering local schools. “As you look across the country right now, we’re in fairly uncharted waters,” Lombardi said in an interview with The Sun. With COVID-19 spreading seemingly

unabated — the number of confirmed cases spiked 30 percent overnight to 421 in New York State — Cornell officials said the accelerated timeline was necessary to give students the chance to begin making travel plans. “The greatest shift that I was feeling was the concern … travel, [which] is becoming more difficult, certainly downstate, in New York,” said Sharon McMullen, Assistant Vice President of Student and Campus Life for Health and Well-being.

The practical logistics of asking over 13,000 students to vacate campus is one that leaves a host of unsolved questions. Lombardi had sent out an email to students living on-campus earlier in the week, asking them to fill out a form for housing accommodations. While the form’s deadline has been extended to Sunday, March 22, Lombardi said that the majority of students who filled out the survey said they intended to leave campus. Students living on-campus who leave

will receive a rebate for housing and meal plans, though the exact amount has yet to be determined. In anticipation of swelling unemployment, President Donald Trump announced on Match 13 that interest on federally-backed student loans would be deferred — but the University has yet to address potential changes to financial aid or deadlines for tuition payment.

floor of Cornell-owned Sheldon Court. 1.23.20 NEW GREEK EVENT RULES MANDATE BYOB, 15 PERCENT ALCOHOL MAXIMUM: The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life rolled out sweeping new regulations for Greek Life events after reforms were promised in the fall, restricting events to four days per week, requiring

catering services for all alcohol served and limiting co-sponsors on approved events. The new policy also outlined requirements for security, advance event registration and “good standing” for a chapter to host an event. 2.7.20 CORNELL CANCELS CLASSES AFTER BARRAGE OF SNOW: Cornell canceled classes at the

Ithaca campus as of 10 a.m. Friday morning, officially closing the entire campus around noon. The delays in announcements left questions unanswered about who should make the trek to campus, even as the University asked staff and students not to travel. This was the second snow day of the academic year, the first coming right after Thanksgiving break. 3.10.20 CORNELL CANCELS IN-PERSON CLASSES AFTER SPRING BREAK; WILL SHIFT TO ONLINE INSTRUCTION: Cornell became the latest university to announce that it would go digital after Spring Break, following a wave of colleges nationwide that had canceled in-person classes due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Although no case of the virus had yet been reported in Tompkins County, students were asked to leave campus at the start of Spring Break and stay home for the rest of the semester.

3.13.20 PRESIDENT POLLACK SUSPENDS ALL CLASSES, EFFECTIVE AT 5 P.M.: In an unexpected move, President Martha E. Pollack announced that Cornell would suspend all classes as of Friday, 5 p.m., amid widespread concerns over the

coronavirus outbreak. Virtual instruction was set to begin April 6. 3.13.20 S.A. PASSES FOSSEL FUEL DIVESTMENT RESOLUTION AND POSTPONES ITS OWN ELECTIONS: Resolution 56 demanded that Cornell sever ties with the fossil fuel industry “as rapidly as possible,” following protests favoring that course. Cornell’s five constituent assemblies have all passed similar resolutions, including the Faculty Senate. The S.A. also voted unanimously to postpone its elections until the fall, keeping all current members in place with “no legislative power,”according to S.A. President Joe Anderson ’20. 4.5.20 NO UNIVERSAL S/U GRADING; OPT-IN DATE MOVED TO LAST DAY OF CLASSES: While the opt-in grading system would remain, in a concession to students, the deadline to change a course’s grading basis to S/U was moved from April 21 to May 12, last day of classes, according to an email Provost Michael Kotlikoff sent to members of the Faculty Senate. In addition, each transcript would include a “notation that explains the anomalies associated with the Spring 2020 semester.”

SPRING 2020

‘We will have a commencement – and it will be a joyous one!’

2020 Graduation Ceremony Delayed, Not Cancelled The novel coronavirus canceled much of Cornell’s spring semester activities, such as in-person classes, and even Slope Day. However, one annual tradition withstood the historic pandemic: senior commencement. In a Friday, March 20 email sent to Cornell students — and addressed to “seniors and other graduating students” — President Martha E. Pollack promised that a graduation ceremony will occur, although admitted that the logistics are still uncertain at this time. Pollack opened the email emphasizing the “intense years of study” that spring graduates completed while at Cornell, and said that “in normal times, we would celebrate your accomplishments with commencement on Memorial Day weekend.” That will not happen this year, Pollack said in the email. The president wrote that the University is “not yet able to announce a date or location” of commencement ceremonies due to uncertainty of the impact COVID-19 will have, but she did state that “we will have your commencement.” “Commencement is a momentous, milestone celebration, one that everyone in academia, and especially graduating students, their families and their professors look forward to each year,” she said. Although the location has not yet been announced, Pollack said it will occur in Ithaca, and that the University “will find creative ways for those who are

unable to attend in person to be able to fully participate virtually.” Cornell’s pledge to eventually hold an in-person commencement event contrasts with that of many peer colleges.

Emory University and Washington University in St. Louis opted to cancel their annual send-offs completely, while the University of Pennsylvania said it would hold a “virtual event.”

Degrees will still be granted in May, before the commencement ceremony. To read the full text of Pollack’s email, please visit cornellsun.com.

Round-Up of Ivy League Schools’ Cornell to Effectively Choices About Grading Options Divest From Fossil

C.U. adopts opt-in satisfactory/unsatisfactory policy With in-person classes cancelled at colleges across the country, many institutions have adapted their grading policies to reflect the dramatic change in academic experience. But, even within the Ivy League, those decisions have not all been the same. After several weeks of contentious debate, including widely-circulated petitions, Student Assembly resolutions and a Faculty Senate debate, Cornell ultimately enacted an opt-in Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory policy. The decision allows students

to change their classes to the S/U grading option until May 12, the last day of classes. The University also waived restrictions on the number of courses students could take S/U and is allowing courses taken S/U to count for major and minor requirements. Explaining Anomalies

Cornell initially decided to extend the S/U option to all courses until April 21, but on April 5 announced that it would extend the deadline to change grading option until May 12. Transcripts will now

also contain a notation explaining the “anomalies associated with the Spring 2020 semester.” While the Student Assembly passed a resolution in support of a universal S/U policy, Cornell’s Faculty Senate voted against it on April 2. Three other Ivies’ mirror Cornell’s opt-in policy — expanded S/U options, but still offering the choice to take classes for a letter grade — while the remaining four will grade all classes for the rest of the semester on an S/U basis.

Fuel Industry Holdings

Following the Board of Trustees’ Friday, May 22 decision to institute a moratorium on new private investments focused on fossil fuels, many questions linger about the details, with some feeling dismayed over the scope of Cornell’s divestment. Divestment is a complicated topic, involving years of protests, elusive details about Cornell’s endowment and a global conversation about fossil fuels and climate change. Cornell activists have been advocating for fossil fuel divest for nearly a decade, and Prof. Robert Howarth, ecology and environmental biology, has been working on it since the start. Seven years ago, he co-authored a paper laying out a blueprint for New York State to be fossil fuel-free, and his research as an earth scientist and ecologist has focused on the effects of methane

and fossil fuels. After the Board of Trustees’ first fossil fuel divestment vote in 2016, the board said it wouldn’t address the topic again unless all five constituent assemblies passed the same resolution and explained the industry as “morally reprehensible,” according to Howarth. Pushing Again

Last semester, Howarth, who is also chair of the University Assembly, and the U.A.’s Campus Infrastructure Committee decided to push for divestment again: They ultimately planned to pass a short resolution in all five assemblies to get the board to reconsider divestment. Prof. Caroline Levine, English, helped draft the short resolution and a white paper — a supplementary policy report — with the committee. In the white paper, she claimed that the fossil fuel industry has led

misinformation campaigns, so Cornell must divest to maintain its credibility as leaders in sustainability. By March, all assemblies had passed the resolution, and President Martha E. Pollack brought the topic to the board, Howarth said. But given its history, the divestment resolutions did not propose brand new information or even action, instead formalizing actions the board has already been taking. “The decision [on Friday], basically, ratifies and affirms what they’re doing anyway,” Howarth said. “There’s every reason to believe that back in 2015, a substantial amount of the endowment was in fossil fuels, and now it’s a little less than 5 percent. Clearly, they’ve been moving out.” To continue reading this article, please visit cornellsun.com.

Julia Feliz Accuses C.U. Of Racism, Prompting Both Support, Pushback Starting October 15, Julia Feliz would not be welcome at Cornell’s Alliance for Science program, its director said. The decision — which Feliz shared in a widely-circulated post — was followed by waves of student support in a Student Assembly resolution in solidarity with Feliz and a planned rally, as well as a University statement disputing many of Feliz’s characterizations and an email from President Martha E. Pollack. The controversy began earlier in October, when Feliz accused Iowa State University Prof. Max Rothschild of racist and sexist terminology when responding to their question after a lecture. Feliz recounted their experience at the Alliance for Science in a lengthy piece on Medium, an online publishing platform. On Oct. 24, in a phone call and email to The Sun, Rothschild unequivocally denied all accusations, wholly disputing Feliz’s account of the incident. The animal science professor added that “[a] ccusing me of being racist because I am white is offensive and racist.” Feliz said Rothschild spoke loudly and walked towards them to intimidate them. The guest lecturer denied this in an email to The Sun, saying that he requires a hearing aid, and attributed his actions to his inability to hear them at the time. Pollack replied to Feliz’s email after the S.A.’s resolution — which was contested by all fellows who spoke at the Oct. 24 S.A. meeting — by writing a brief email to Feliz, which they posted online. “I have received your message,” Pollack wrote to Feliz, a Puerto Rican former fellow, on Friday morning. “Cornell takes reports of alleged discrimination seriously, and all appropriate offices are fully engaged in this matter.” To continue reading this article, please visit cornellsun.com.

Will the circle be unbroken? | Students stand together in a formation outside Anabel Taylor Hall at the service of remembrance for Antonio Tsialas ’23 after the chapel was filled to capacity on Oct. 29, 2019.

Friends Remember Tsialas ’23 As classes wrapped up on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 29, 2019, a steady stream of students flowed through Ho Plaza to attend the memorial of freshman Antonio Tsialas ’23. The service was held in the chapel of Anabel Taylor Hall with an hourlong program to provide a space for students to mourn the death of Tsialas. The College of Arts and Sciences freshman was found dead near Ithaca Falls in Fall Creek Gorge on Saturday. Due to lack of space in the chapel,

which seats 150, some students stood or sat outside, talking about Tsialas. Club soccer teammate Sebastian Barquin-Sanchez ’22 previously told The Sun that he referred to Tsialas as a “little brother.” According to teammate Connor Dolan ’21, the club soccer team plans to retire his jersey number, 19. Students wrote letters to Tsialas’ family on notecards. He had been missing since Thursday night, after meeting with his mother for dinner, and had planned to take

his parents — who were in town during First-Year Family Weekend — on a tour of the campus over the next few days. His parents reported him missing when he failed to meet with them on Friday, state troopers said. The service concluded as Cornell faculty members read remarks, noting that Tsialas would be remembered by the community. A GoFundMe campaign in his memory quickly surpassed its goal of $20,000, collecting over $30,000 for the family.

STUDENTS SUPPORT GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE: Amidst chants of “system change, not climate change!,” hundreds of Cornell students and faculty marched to the Commons

on Friday. The march, one of over 4,000 protests occurring this week for the Global Climate Strike, called for divestment from fossil fuels and a federal Green New Deal, among other reforms. 10.26.19 MISSING STUDENT’S BODY FOUND IN FALL CREEK GORGE: Antonio Tsialas ’23 was last seen at a fraternity event at the house of the Phi Kappa Psi on Thursday night.

Burning out | The Nines restaurant closed in October of 2018 after nearly 40 years in business serving pizza and other food in the old Ithaca Fire Station #9. Pizza enthusiasts, trivia night frequenters, open mic night artists and Latin dance lovers have had to say goodbye to longtime Collegetown staple: The Nines, a popular bar and pizza joint which formerly housed Ithaca Fire Station #9, announced it would be bowing out of nearly 40 years of business on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018. Though that is the intended closing day, server Ryan Rutledge said that the restaurant’s final day would be determined by when they exhaust supplies. “It’s until we run out of stuff,” Rutledge said. “We could be open Monday, but we might not be. It’s just kind of day-to-day at that point. But at this point, Sunday will

probably be our last day.” Located at 311 College Ave., the restaurant was the subject of a contentious Ithaca Common Council debacle on whether to declare The Nines building a local landmark this past year. The proposal was struck down in June when Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 broke a 5-5 split in the council with a vote of no, The Sun previously reported. Myrick praised the owners Mark Kielmann ’72 and Harold Schultz — who have now owned the restaurant for nearly 40 years — for developing a community that is “still one of the three reasons [he goes] to Collegetown” after his undergraduate years.

As Collegetown residents prepare to bid farewell to the restaurant, some acknowledge the closure as a goodbye to a hangout spot. “It’s sad, because we live right down the street and it’s a good [place] to eat,” said Shelby Wray ’21. The Nines’s final event will be a music show called “Hail and Farewell Nines” on Oct. 6, according to a Facebook post on the restaurant’s page that encourages Ithacans to “come out and celebrate all the good times.” The event will feature musical guests Pete Panek and the Blue Cats.

University Closes Ezra’s Tunnel After 188 Years

Cornell erected a steel gate on Monday, Jan. 22 through Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2018 in front of Ezra’s Tunnel, blocking off a cave blasted through rock by the University’s co-founder in 1830 that in recent decades has been used to reach a swimming hole where two Cornellians have drowned. The closure of the 200-foot tunnel above Ithaca Falls follows the city’s approval, in December, of Cornell’s offer to pay for and build the gate, which is on city land. The City’s 6-3 vote followed a months-long debate between those who wanted one of the most beautiful gorge areas to stay accessible and others who believed that more teens would be injured or die if the tunnel remained open. The black gate, made from a combination of stainless steel and galvanized steel, stands about 16-foot tall and includes a locked, 6-foot-by-8-foot door that can be used by medical personnel in case of emergencies. Some Common Council and Cornell community members hope that the gate could one day allow for guided tours, although there are currently no plans for tours of the area. Sub-Zero Wind Chills

Contractors paid by Cornell worked in freezing temperatures and snow from Monday through Wednesday last week, welding the bolt cutter-resistant gate shut. “We had the refreshing opportunity to work in sub-zero wind chills to get the work done” by the first day of classes, Dan McClure, the Cornell construction manager who designed the gate and oversaw the installation, said in an email to The Sun. “I commend the efforts of the team we put together to work on the side of a cliff in icy conditions, at some significant risk to themselves, in an effort to help secure the safety of others when the good weather returns,” McClure said. McClure said it is not yet clear how much the implementation of the gate cost, saying it would likely end up costing about as much as the gate Cornell erected in the Cascadilla Gorge. The gate will now be transferred to

Tech Campus Opens New Chapter in Cornell History

NEW YORK — All the right elements for a successful ceremony were gathered at the official opening of Cornell’s new Tech Campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017: a brand new campus on a sunny day, enthusiastic new students, and optimistic academics, former mayors and governor. “Cornell Tech, welcome to New York,” said New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, while New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio praised “the bigger and bigger role that Cornell is playing in New York City.” “This is the single biggest event at Cornell that I’ve witnessed in 40 years,” said Chair of the Board of Trustees Robert Harrison ’76. Facing an audience of several hundred members, all key actors of the new campus came together to celebrate and praise the completion of the first phase of a project intended to “bring together academia and industry to create pioneering leaders and transformational new research.” “Starting a campus from scratch is like surfing a big wave,” Cornell Tech Dean and ceremony moderator Daniel Huttenlocher said, summarizing the work accomplished since the University won former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration’s applied sciences competition for a new campus in 2011. “It’s exhilarating, but can be hard to keep up with.” Indeed, since Cornell Tech’s first days within the Google offices in Chelsea, hundreds of millions of dollars were spent to create a sustainable and modern campus on the 12 acres of public land

leased by the city on Roosevelt Island, a tiny sliver of land in the middle of the East River. Collaboration as a Driving Force

“Cornell Tech is the result of collaboration,” former Mayor Mike Bloomberg stressed. The campus is the fruit of a public-pri-

vate partnership, as well as one between Cornell and the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, embodied by the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute on the campus. More importantly for the future of Cornell Tech, the campus is meant to foster collaboration between academics and businesses. The aptly named Bridge building will act partially as an incubator and collaborative space where students

Ari Yannakogeorgos, a law student from Boston, used to work in

law in a venture company, then applied for the new law school on Roosevelt Island. “I wanted to do something where I could move from traditional law and do something more technologically focused because I wanted to work with cutting edge companies,” he said. Controversy Over Technion

But despite the beautiful buildings and ceremony, not all Cornell students approve of Cornell Tech. Student groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine have decried the new campus’ main partner Technion, whose president Peretz Lavie was present at the ceremony Wednesday, due to its partnerships with military companies and collaboration with the Israeli Defense Forces in Israel. “SJP will continue to oppose the partnership in all its forms,” said SJP member Piragash Swargalonathan ’19. “I don’t think there is a way to justify it, unless you can justify what’s happening in Palestine.” While opposition to Cornell Tech’s partnership was more widespread at the beginning stages of the campus, fewer students are engaged in the matter at the time of the campus’ opening. “I’m not really sure how Technion fits into the campus here,” said Ari Yannakogeorgos. In fact, no military research on Roosevelt Island has been announced at the moment. For now, Cornell Tech focuses on the future, with a campus built seven feet above the 100 years flood plain, looking at the United Nations from across the river.

Cornell Names Pollack Its 14th President Martha E. Pollack, provost at University of Michigan, was named Cornell’s 14th president on Nov. 14, 2016. Pollack began her term on April 17, 2017, following the termination of her term as U.M. provost on Jan. 31. The Board of Trustees unanimously elected Pollack as Cornell’s second female president, according to Jan Rock Zubrow ’77, chair of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and of the Presidential Search Committee. Interim President Hunter Rawlings will continue to lead the University until April. “We were looking for a bold strategic leader and someone who could really further the mission of the University and what really impressed us with Martha is that she has demonstrated those qualities at a really high quality institution at the University of Michigan,” Zubrow said. As she introduced herself, Pollack spoke about the importance of academia, emphasizing her belief that Cornell is “leading the way in how critical universities and their work are to the world today.” “It is really just a privilege to be here today. I have spent almost my entire career in higher education and I am deeply committed to the notion that universities are second to none in effecting positive change in the world,” Pollack said. “And really nowhere is it more true than here at Cornell — a private university with a public mission.” In response to a question about her policy goals as president, Pollack touched on improving the University with a focus on innovation and quality.

Much of Pollack’s research has been on artifical intelligence, including “automated planning, natural-language processing, temporal reasoning and constraint satisfaction.” She has also received accolades for her work to improve the climate for minorities and women in science and engineering. However, responding to a question about her status as Cornell’s second female leader, Pollack said, “I think that the job of the president is to serve everyone — not to be the female president, but to be the president.” In addition to serving as provost at the University of Michigan, she was a member of the Steering committee for the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, which is a partnership between Cornell and the TechnionIsrael Institute of Technology at Cornell Tech.

Solar Flashback:

Reflections of Commencements Past By SHRUTI JUNEJA and BREANNE FLEER Sun Senior Editors

The Class of 2020 has had its commencement weekend indefinitely postponed due the coronavirus pandemic that has upended life as we knew it for higher education students everywhere. Instead of wearing caps and gowns and celebrating with friends and family and in Ithaca, graduates are wearing masks and spread out across the globe, taking classes and finals online in an unforeseen and unprecedented turn of events. While many other peer institutions have opted for virtual graduation ceremonies, President Martha Pollack has promised seniors that while graduation has been postponed, a “celebration will occur,” and it will be in Ithaca. While this is certainly the largest disruption of graduation activities in Cornell’s history, we took a look back at some of the other most notable commencement festivities and mishaps. Solar Flashbacks is a special project connecting The Sun’s — and Cornell’s — past to the present to understand how this rich history has shaped the campus today. Flashbacks appear periodically throughout the semester. To read the full text of this Solar Flashback edition, please visit cornellsun.com.

ornell’s very first Commencement was held in 1869, one year after the University’s opening, to honor eight graduates who had transferred in from other universities, according to the Cornell Alumni Magazine. “Let your course be true. So rule and direct yourself that you may well requite the bounty of the Republic, of this commonwealth, of Founder, and of all our Benefactors,” these first diplomas read. Ezra Cornell himself mailed the invitations, and President Andrew Dickson White wrote the wording. Furthermore, The Sun reported that “as was custom of the time, each of the graduates gave a commencement speech.

Among the topics of the day were a plea for female suffrage, a demand that the liberal arts college stimulate the American artist, and a compliment to the genius of the German mind.” Over a century and a half later, the class of 2020 has over 3,000 graduates, so it’s a good thing this tradition was discontinued or else Commencement would have to last much longer than a weekend. The day before commencement, local businesses closed their doors so that the “townspeople, accompanied by their own Knights Templar band,” could “flock up the hill to witness the laying of the cornerstone at McGraw Hall.” The ceremony itself was held down-

he 1968 centennial graduation proved to be an event to remember. It was scheduled for a Saturday evening on the Arts Quad instead of in Barton Hall, and John W. Gardner, the former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, was scheduled to speak in addition to the University president. “At the 8 p.m. ceremonies, University President James Perkins will confer 1,891 bachelor’s degrees, 477 master’s degrees and 335 doctoral degrees, totalling approximately 20 more than last year,” The Sun reported that May. Planned festivities included a musical “sing,” a Glee Club concert and banquet and a Senior Party on Alumni Field.

ommencement weekend comprises more than 100 events all around campus—from the major ceremonies viewed by thousands to gatherings in the individual schools, colleges, and departments,” according to the Cornell Alumni Magazine. “Given the scale of Commencement, the number of things that have gone wrong over the years is surprisingly low—a tribute to the staff ’s meticulous behind-the-scenes organization.” Banning Champagne bottles on Schoellkopf helped eliminate the “occasional injuries from careening corks.” However, recent grads “inexplicably carted a toilet all the way from the Arts Quad and into the stadium,” and “one incurable romantic caused a minor hubbub when he proposed to his girlfriend on the field in the middle of the ceremony.” Behind the scenes, “a staffer was running to retrieve a ceremonial donation check from backstage during President Bill Clinton’s Convocation speech and nearly got tackled by the Secret Service” in 2004. Ithaca’s weather can also be unpredictable, providing an additional challenge. In 2016, “a now-legendary downpour took organizers unawares, unleashing nearly a quarter of an inch of water in about half an hour … The whole ceremony was dispatched in half an hour, likely making it the shortest Commencement in University history,” according to the Cornell Alumni Magazine. Provost Michael Kotlikoff was still able to deliver his address, sending the graduates off with a message about diversity.“As you leave Schoellkopf today … continue to widen your horizons and take a step or two outside of your comfort zones — build on the diverse and respectful experience of Cornell,” he said, according to The Sun.

S PECIAL S PEAKERS

raditionally, Cornell University Presidents have usually delivered the Commencement speech, with outside speakers being brought in for the Convocation address by a senior class committee since 1985, according to the Cornell Alumni Magazine. Prominent speakers have included alumni such as astronaut Mae Jemison, M.D. ’81 and Bill Nye “The Science Guy” ’77, as well as non-alumni including former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Joe Biden, poet Maya Angelou, former New York City mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg and movie star James Franco. Biden, who is now the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president in the 2020 election, received a scoop of Cornell Dairy’s “Big Red, White and Biden” ice cream and told the Class of 2017 about the need for dignity and CAMERON POLLACK / SUN FILE PHOTO

town at the Cornell Library, which had been donated to the people of Tompkins County by Ezra Cornell, and where “a huge crowd awaited the arrival of the procession, ‘not the least prominent among whom were the fairest ladies ever assembled for a college commencement.’” Commencement moved from downtown to campus in 1883, when it was held at the campus armory. In 1912, the first outdoors commencement was held on Libe Slope, which was utilized as “a natural amphitheater.” Over the years, Commencement also took place in Bailey Hall, Barton Hall and Schoellkopf Field, and has been permanently held in Schoellkopf since 1975.

inclusion, according to The Sun. “I’m so optimistic about your generation that I’m optimistic about this country,” he said, later adding: “It’s time for the country to wake up and ladies and gentlemen of the graduating class of 2017, go out and wake us up.” In 2014, actor Ed Helms, who played fictional Cornellian Andy Bernard on the popular sitcom The Office, delivered the address, asking the crowd, “You do realize I’m not actually Andy Bernard, right? He isn’t a real person. He is a character from a TV show, and I am the actor who played him. Or did you actually invite a fictional person to give this speech?” Helms also offered some apt advice for the outgoing seniors. “As you look ahead and ponder your lives after four years of extensive learning — having been taught by some of the greatest minds on the planet, studying late nights for endless exams and essays — please remember to be a fool,” Helms said.

From the Editor

Shone, Shine, Shining IT IS HARD TO QUANTIFY SUNSHINE INTO WORDS. To me, it was competing with my fellow news deskers on the 136th Editorial Board to set a record for the earliest night desking. It was keeping my head above water on the 137th Editorial Board as people looked to 20-year-old me for instruction. It was watching the 138th Editorial Board not only survive a global pandemic but thrive as they brought the highest-quality journalism. Every single person’s sunshine looks a little different based on if they were a reader or writer, browser or die-hard, early riser or night owl. But regardless of what it was that made you shine, we just want to say thank you. Thank you to our readers who pick up our print copies and search our name in their web browsers. Thank you to our critics for helping us improve and reminding us to always make thoughtful and conscious decisions. Thank you to our writers who are the cogs in this whole machine. Thank you to our friends who listened to us fret about impending deadlines and question our decisions to be a part of this organization. Thank you to our parents not yelling at us about the close-calls we’ve all had with homework and exams because we were at the office or just editing one last thing. We saw a pandemic, protests, unbeatable hockey teams, inspiring students, ground-breaking research, and we get to watch as future classes carry on our legacy. There were highs and lows, cloudy days and snowstorms, but every day held a little sunshine at 139 W. State Street and cornellsun.com. For those of us on The Sun, it has been a privilege to serve the Cornell community by providing breaking news, live coverage of sporting events, sharing photos of the snow days people won’t forget, and educating through journalism. Class of 2020, thank you for letting us on The Sun share four years with you. It was the unpaid internship of a lifetime. It will be the answer to many interview questions. It will be the place some of us learned the most. It’s also the place some of us stumbled the most (guilty as charged). But through it all, it was a family, an experience, a challenge, and a once-in-a-lifetime trip around The Sun. Congratulations Class of 2020, we cannot wait to see how brightly you shine.

I

joined The Sun in fall 2017 for reasons I no longer remember, but I was certain that I would not last a semester. I had never done any journalism in my life, and before college, I had never written anything in English that’s more than 300 words. Somehow, I stuck around and even made it to editorship, but every single day I was down at The Sun’s red brick office in the Commons, I questioned if I was qualified to be there. When I had to call the shots on something, I wondered if the swarm of talented people in the newsroom was actually convinced by my reasonings, or if they were just being nice. I’ve been hyper-aware of who I am since the very beginning of my time in this country, when a customs officer at JFK airport commented on how well I speak English “for a Chinese student” as he stamped on my passport. Throughout college, I have repeatedly been told that my accent and knowledge about America could fool anyone into thinking that I’ve lived here forever. Having a disguise like this did make my life easier in many ways, but it also brought me tremendous guilt, as if I had selfishly escaped the collective fate of being one-dimensionalized by the politics of our home country and assigned to the labels of “spoiled,” “isolated,” “indifferent” and “brainwashed,” even though we too are people with distinct backgrounds, interests and personalities. There’s no way I can know for sure, but as I proudly told everyone that I’m from the beautiful city of Shanghai, I imagined the thought of “why should I trust her to run this newsroom/lead this group/spearhead this project” had at least crossed someone’s mind at some point. So after joining The Sun, I had one goal: I wanted to prove that I can be a good reporter despite growing up without any notion of the free press, for which I have no defense to provide. But then it quickly became something more. As I scoured the campus for stories, I found that neither the uniqueness that comes with my identity or the animosity against it has been given the attention it deserves. I found people habitually staying silent because they thought their story didn’t matter. I found that although The Sun is already much more diverse than many professional newsrooms out there, our focus is still disproportionately set on the select few already bathing in spotlight, all the while the underrepresented minority faculty are fighting against racial bias, the history of LGBTQ activism at Cornell is getting dusty on the shelf and the college experience shared by almost one-fifth of this community has never been made aware to the other 80 percent. Their stories are not being told

because there’s no one listening to them. There’s no one who connects with them or understands what they are going through. Then I decided I want to be that person. I wanted to bring these unheard stories to the front page, not to make any accusations but simply to show that maybe what you know isn’t everything. Sure, you’ve seen some international students don Canada Gooses, but there are also many of us who routinely sleep on airport benches to save money; some of us look like we don’t want to “assimilate” — whatever that means — but not everyone is as privileged as yours truly to have a protective disguise at their disposal, which is forged in years of top-class English education and unlimited exposure to Western pop culture. In some ways, journalism became my first taste at activism. I’m a woman, Asian, Chinese, international student — each of these defines me and none works in my favor. So when there’s no politician or administrator willing to speak up for me and those like me, I have to for my own sake. I wouldn’t dare say that I’ve been any good at it, but if the stories I helped tell had made even just one reader pause and examine their inherent biases as I did many, many times, then I’m proud to have tried. Of course, there’s no way I could’ve navigated this journey alone. So to end this column, here’s a clichéd thank-you section to those who have tolerated, accompanied and inspired me in the past three and a half years: Mom and Dad: Not sure if you’ll even get to this part, and I don’t think I’ll ever let you know just how much I prioritized The Sun over school (so you wouldn’t freak out), but thank you for always believing in me and letting me pursue what I love. Andrea: Thanks for all the cakes and cookies, the knowing winks about Hamilton and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the late-night conversations, and for being the best roommate and friend anyone could ask for. Anu and Sarah, and the 136th News Board: Meeting you was the best thing that happened to me at Cornell. The caffeine- and Shortstop sandwich-charged nights at 139 W State St. will forever be my fondest memories of college. And finally, Prof. Kaylin O’Dell, English, Suffolk University: Thank you for the kindness and encouragement that you generously showed to the awkward, terrified kid in your FWS class. It meant the world to me, and I probably wouldn’t have joined The Sun and be who I am today without it.

hile searching through The Sun’s online archives for a Solar Flashback story last fall, I came across an editorial that touched me profoundly. It was from September 27, 1910, over a century ago, and it captured the very essence of my experience as a Cornellian. “And let us say that you do not realize now the days you are passing through,” it read, addressing new students. “Look back at the remembrance. It is a wholesome existence with room for work and play, room for thought but little thoughtlessness. Not the ‘college life’

whereof you read, nor what you see on flaring posters. But this you surely realize in a day. The future will, as it has for all before, fashion as you desire. Only the broad boundaries have been laid, and within this University sphere is room for your rosiest prospect, if you but work aright.” No other quotation that I have read throughout my four years at Cornell better expresses the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, joys and stresses of being a student here. It is tough. It requires immense focus and determination. Yet, the opportunity to attend this University, and all of the possibilities that it opens up, have made it well worth it. When I was a freshman, standing wide-eyed on the Arts Quad and admiring the old buildings, I euphorically believed the University to be an “academic utopia.” It may have been a slight exaggeration — this was before I took my first prelims — but now, as I graduate, I still feel that exhilaration. Over the course of college, I have studied so many fascinating subjects, pondered so many difficult questions and met so many kind and dedicated friends and acquaintances. I have been constantly inspired by my fellow Sun editors, writers and staff, my classmates and my professors. They are the reason for the unforgettable experiences I have had at Cornell, and they deserve the utmost gratitude. To Cornell, then, I say thank you. Thank you to my peers, my professors, my advisors, the T.A.s who

graded my papers, the chefs who prepared the delicious meals, the staff who kept my favorite buildings up and running. Thank you to all those, past and present, who have made Cornell what it is. Thank you to all who will surely keep Cornell the special place it must be, well after our Class of 2020 has left its halls. While I cannot spend my last day as an undergraduate wearing a cap and gown and eagerly celebrating on campus, wide-eyed and thrilled just as I had been as a freshman, I am humbled and grateful for all of the memories I made at this challenging and wonderful place. Of course, the University itself is imperfect; much reform remains to be done, and changes are required to ensure that every student can have a positive experience. Together, we and our fellow Cornellians can and should make that possible. And the words written by the author of that editorial all those years ago, facing extreme uncertainty just like us—a few short years later the world would be engulfed in war—can help tie together the loose ends that remain. As we end our college years already scattered to the wind, we can turn to the determined Cornellian spirit developed through hard work and cold winters. As the student in 1910 wrote, “The future will, as it has for all before, fashion as you desire.” Whatever comes next, our experiences at Cornell and our solidarity as a graduating class can help us get through.

Whatever comes next, our experiences at Cornell and our solidarity as a graduating class can help us get through.

Rays of Sunshine

Shruti Juneja Guest Room Shruti Juneja is graduating from the College of Arts and Sciences. She was a Senior Editor on The Sun’s 137th Editorial Board, and a News Editor on the 136th Editorial Board.

I

came to Cornell as a naive, optimistic, wide-eyed freshman, filled with a sense of unbridled excitement about what the future would bring. I left as a cynical, pessimistic senior with bags under my eyes, filled with a sense of overwhelming fear about what the future would bring. Not exactly the profound character development I had been hoping for. Alas, life isn’t a sitcom and happy endings aren’t guaranteed, but I am so incredibly thankful for the many moments of Sunshine I experienced in between an awe-inspiring arrival and a dismal departure during my (almost) four years in Ithaca. Four years ago, I didn’t know what I was going to major in, I didn’t know who my friends would be, I didn’t know which extracurriculars I wanted to join and I especially didn’t know if the brand new winter coat and snow boots I bought would get me through the Ithaca winters. I joined The Sun on a whim during my first semester of college, attending the information session in a large auditorium in Goldwin-Smith. I had never written an article before, and I suddenly found myself constantly reporting on a variety of topics, talking with students, faculty and community members I otherwise never would have met. As a news editor, I went from writing content to assigning content, realizing just how much work goes on behind the scenes to keep The Sun going. Stories would fall through at the last minute and breaking news would occur when least expected, so front pages would have to be redesigned

at a moment’s notice. And as a senior editor, I went through The Sun archives with a colleague to write a series of “Solar Flashbacks” about Cornell history through the eyes of The Sun. Going through the archives was truly fascinating (and not a bad quarantine activity if you’re particularly bored). It was enlightening to see how campus life evolved over the last century and a half, and it was humbling to realize that we were all just a small part of something much bigger than ourselves. I never imagined joining the editorial board when I first arrived at Cornell, but I am honored to have been a small ray of sunshine that contributed to such a star of an institution. One of the quotes that stood out to me while digging through the archives is this one from Sun editor E.W. Huffcut 1884: “No one expected [The Sun] to live. In fact it was commonly predicted that it would not last a month, a week.” It’s kind of crazy to think that The Sun almost didn’t make it to the present day, because my college experience would certainly have been different, but it was reassuring to know that the previous editors were nothing more than students like us, filled with confusion and uncertainty, but driven by a sense of purpose. The Sun definitely lasted more than a week or a month, becoming an integral institution that persisted through previous epidemics and world wars and even endured a factional split that briefly produced two Suns in 1893. And the reason The Sun has survived

trate on editing stories amidst intense Nerf Gun battles, venturing to the upstairs floor of The Sun office solely for celebrations and walking back uphill to campus from the Commons after a long night of desking “just for the fun of it.” I have been so impressed by how the newest editorial board has risen to the challenge of providing such thorough and informative reporting during a global pandemic, and I have every faith that these rays of Sunshine will continue to keep The Sun shining brightly through these dark times. On my flight to Ithaca in the fall of 2016, I read the paper copy of the entire freshman issue of The Sun, feeling that it so appropriately captured my feelings of anticipation, and entered campus proud to be a Cornellian. On my flight out of Ithaca in the spring of 2020, I scrolled through the headlines on The Sun app on my phone (before switching it to airplane mode of course), feeling that it so appropriately covered all the continuing chaos, and left campus proud to be a Cornellian. If this column hasn’t contained enough sappy cliches and cheesy sentiments, I’ll end on this note. Like many seniors, I initially felt a sense of profound loss about senior spring and graduation, but after processing my feelings I realized, “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard” (which I thought must have been a quote from a romcom, but Google has informed me that it is apparently from Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne). There were a lot of things I didn’t get to properly say goodbye to. I pulled my last all-nighter in the Cocktail Lounge, thinking I’d be back there again soon to study for finals. I had my last Cosmopolitan at Ruloffs, thinking I’d be back there again soon for another trivia night. I ordered my last pizza bagel at CTB, thinking that I’d be back there again soon for another brunch. I ate my last soup at Zeus, thinking that I’d be back there again soon after another class. I watched my last sunset on the slope, thinking that I would be back there again soon for a final Slope Day. I said casual goodbyes to various peers and acquaintances, thinking I would see them again soon at graduation. Yet despite the way it all ended, I still feel lucky that I found so many people, places and memories that made me proud to be a Cornellian. The Class of 2020 will forever be impacted by what we experienced on and off campus. But we were a small part of something bigger than ourselves, we were each rays of sunshine that helped make Cornell the shining star that it is, was and will continue to be.

Some of my favorite memories of college will definitely include undertaking midnight snack runs to Shortstop Deli ... and walking back uphill to campus from the Commons after a long night of desking “just for the fun of it.” and thrived all these years is because of the endless energy countless of dedicated editors and writers have poured into it. I’d like to give a huge shout out to the 136th Editorial Board’s news crew (you know who you are) — you were a fantastic team to work with and always inspired me to be a better editor and a better person. Some of my favorite memories of college will definitely include undertaking midnight snack runs to Shortstop Deli, complaining about why Sunstyle doesn’t use the Oxford comma, brainstorming alliterative photo captions and puns, sitting in “the corner” of CTB, sending memes on Slack and GroupMe, procrastinating in Klarman KG42, watching horror movies after all stories had been published for the night, attempting to concen-

fter four years of being a reporter on the objective side of things, I’ve often dreaded this graduation column. I’m not very good at articulating how I feel, and definitely don’t think I’m a great writer. So I’m going to stick to the basics and do what I know best: talk about The Sun. When I first got to Cornell, I followed the advice that almost all of us receive and tried new things. I signed up for way too many listservs at Club Fest and attended a lot of G-bodies as that excited freshman during the first semester. Being an international student, I think I tried even harder to find the “community” that was promised, hoping that at least one of the groups I signed up for would give me that feeling of belonging that I was looking for thousands of miles away from home. Thankfully, one of the many organizations that I put my name down for that freshman fall was “the oldest, continuously independent” college newspaper, and over the years while everything else has fallen to the wayside — trekking down to the ivy covered building in the corner of the Commons became a constant over my time at Cornell — and I’m so glad it did. The Sun is unlike any other organization on this campus. I’ve been told multiple times to quit, because my friends firmly believe that being a full-time journalist while also being a Cornell student is ridiculous, and that nothing justifies staying up till 2 a.m. to put

together a newspaper multiple nights every week with the expectation of being present in your 8:40 the next day. I managed to ignore their well-meaning advice through my college career, and while my GPA isn’t faring much better because of it, it gave me the Cornell experience that far exceeded my expectations. What I love about The Sun is that even though it is in every way a trial by fire — too often I was writing an article instead of studying for the prelim I had the next day, and on multiple occasions lumbered into Zeus running on very few hours of sleep — but it introduced me to some of the most hard-working and passionate people I’ve ever met who I can now call some of my closest friends. Not everyone who works at The Sun wants to go into journalism (I don’t either), but it’s still a collection of people who have a crazy level of commitment to a job that pays them nothing, and they’re all somehow sort of into 80s music and get a great deal of joy drinking copious amounts of Andre. So while I still do not want to be a journalist — between the numerous correction emails, trips to Shortstop, long conversations in KG42, and page redesigns minutes away from deadline — I found that community that I was looking for. The Sun isn’t perfect, and anybody who tells you otherwise is wearing rose-colored glasses. Going from a writer, to an editor, to just a washed up senior who is around, I know that everyone may not feel the same sense of community that I’m talking about here. But there is something for everyone at this organization, and if you give it a chance, it may end up taking you by surprise. While the sunsets on the slope, the continuous search for an empty table at Zeus and midnight tacos at Dos Amigos will all be fond memories of my time at Cornell, this shortened semester took away my final months at 139 W State Street, and that’s what I’m going to miss the most. These last two months have taught me that life is unpredictable and what matters most, is the people who stick by you as you go through the cliched ups and downs. I’ve never been the emotional type, more pragmatic and “stoic” as some of my closest high school friends may say, but I’ve realized that letting people know that they are greatly appreciated is also extremely important. So I’m going to attempt to put those thoughts to words and give a shout out to all those who I am so deeply thankful for, because they made my time at The Sun what it was:

To the news crew of 136: people often look back at the year they spend as managing editor as some of their worst semesters at Cornell — constantly stressful, filled with correction emails and the burden of running The Sun weighing heavily on their shoulders. While I did get my fair share of all that, the people I shared this experience with made it a time to remember fondly. Each and every one of you brought something so different to the table, but over the course of endless hours of desking, wine nights and movies, you all became the support structure that I never knew I needed. Thank you for an amazing year, and for some of my best Cornell memories. I’m sure you know that there’s always a couch available for y’all in whichever city I end up in. Alisha, if there’s one person who knows the craziness I went through, it’s you. Thank you for being there whenever I needed you. I wish that instead of being stuck in quarantine, Megan, you and I could be on a road trip blasting early 2000s bops and getting sage advice in a random Denny’s in the middle of nowhere. Josh, I know I didn’t end up signing up for design, but I think I managed to somehow finesse these last 3 years. Thanks for setting the standards and answering all my questions, hopefully my turn at the helm wasn’t too disastrous. Jacob, we had our fair share of controversy, and I don’t think I could have managed it all without you. Thanks for making sure that our favorite college daily is still thriving. Sarah, thank you for taking the organization to new heights after I managed to stumble through the year I was in charge. I’m going to miss our non-verbal communications and the continuous stream of puns. Maryam, I know that with you in charge The Sun is in safe hands even in its most uncertain times. You will never cease to inspire me; thank you for not saying no to writing articles before your orgo prelims, and hope you can keep up the tradition of ordering Thai food for the entire newsroom. To my illustrious roommates at 407, you’ve been there when I’ve come back up the hill at an insane hour ready to listen to a rant or just be there while I recount my day. Thanks for letting me turn the house into a Sun annex. College without you guys would have been a lot less entertaining, and definitely filled with much less knowledge about FIFA. Gonna miss bugging y’all once this is over.

The Sun introduced me to some of the most hard-working and passionate people I’ve ever met.

As Seen on TV time at The Sun. The news is an exciting, and simple, proposition. If you can just find the relevant information and get it out to the people in a compelling way, you can make life better! It’s thrilling and addictive to believe in the direct and undisputable impact of reporting the news. Even joining The Sun to spout baseless opinions in the Arts section, playing a role in this great truth-seeking endeavor was inspiring. I was in awe every day by the diligence and courage that went into every news story that The Sun published. I was also in awe, but in the scared way instead of the good way, every day, of the amount of work I had committed myself to doing as an editor of The Sun.

While I know it is not all good, I am sure The Sun continues to better Cornell. And I am sure, no matter how acerbic my offhand comments about the workload are, I am better for my time spent at 139 West State Street. I’m better for the most joyous group of friends you could have in Megan Roche ’19, Emma Williams ’19, and Brian LaPlaca ’18. I’m better for debates and discussions with Jacob Rubashkin ’19, with whom I learned more than most of my classes. I’m better for the five editors who succeeded me in my roles, whose perceptiveness and aptitude has blown me away. I worked with dozens of other editors who were all astonishingly bright and conscientious, and dozens of writers whose reflections and analyses and knowledge changed the way I move through the world. It was a privilege to have a job working with such good people and reading such interesting writing. Finally, there are many people outside of The Sun who do invaluable work to keep it running. Several friends of mine were particularly understanding of the weird time commitment and stresses of working on the paper, and I’m grateful for their patience and care. I am so appreciative of my parents, as well. My mom’s loving support has underlain everything, and I’m thankful for her propensity to stay up late enough for me to call her, sad or frustrated, when my pages were submitted for the night. I have been called a disappointment to my father twice in this paper, but all jokes aside, I am an apple fallen very close to the tree and my dad’s advice and encouragement has been unceasing. To all of you, and for all of that, thank you.

I was in awe every day by the diligence and courage that went into every news story.

We are so proud of you for finding your second home at Cornell for the past four years. College life is a mixture of friendship, emotions, learning and becoming. It is the golden phase of your life in which you grew and improved yourself. For us, college holds a special place in our hearts; it was the place that Mom and Dad had found each other and started our family journey. With all the love and pride in the world, today we celebrate not just your achievements, but also who you have become, a beautiful and perseverant butterfly who has proudly flown her marathon... heading to her next adventure!

Four Years in Sports / Senior Send-Offs

Early Season End Is Heartbreaking For C.U. Athletes This column was originally published on March 16.

T

he sudden shift from pre- March Madness excitement to a sports-less spring — heartbreaking for players and fans around the country — is nobody’s top concern right now. The NCAA and pro sports leagues are 100 percent right to shut down. But here in Ithaca, my heart breaks for the hundreds of Cornell student athletes who will forever be left to wonder what might have come of the spring of 2020, whose collegiate careers were flipped upside down by a crisis that seemed so distant just a few days ago. Ivy League student athletes are smart, driven kids at the near or absolute top of their sports. They give everything to represent Cornell and wear their colors with pride. Their dedication and drive — to make it back from injury, to win a national championship, to be there for their teammates — ending up unable to yield results would’ve been unimaginable a few days ago. The vast majority of Cornell’s student athletes aren’t going to sign million-dollar contracts, play in prime time on national television or sign big shoe contracts. These athletes work tirelessly for the love of the game, for their teammates and for Cornell. It’s a shame that these athletes — especially graduating seniors who may have taken the field, court, diamond and ice for the last Guest time — won’t Room get a proper send-off. Cornell’s No. 1 ranked hockey teams will get a lot of love. And they deserve all that appreciation, and more, for their tremendous seasons that won’t end in bids for national championships. A lot of hearts will break for Cornell’s No. 2 men’s lacrosse team, which looked poised for another stellar season. Many fans will be thinking of the eight Cornell wrestlers who won’t be able to compete in this year’s national championships. In addition to all these athletes, we’d all do well to spend a moment appreciating and thanking Cornellians on softball, baseball, sailing, rowing, gymnastics, squash, track and field, tennis and golf teams, who don’t draw thousands of fans and don’t get national media attention, but who pour their everything into their teams. These student athletes represent so much of what it means to be a Cornellian: working for one another, proudly donning the red ‘C’ and wearing the “blue collar Ivy” chip on their shoulders. I don’t claim to really know what it’s like to balance Division I sports with Ivy League academics or how it feels to be in your late teens and early 20s and be at the top of your sport. But I do know that as a sportswriter at The Sun, one of the things I enjoy most is talking to student athletes and seeing firsthand the passion and drive that go into representing our University. Sports aren’t the only thing, and they’re certainly not the most important thing right now. But for For these students, some of the these students, hardest-working and most driven some of the hardest-workat Cornell, their sport is everything. ing and most driven at That they won’t be able to work Cornell, their toward a title, finish their senior sport is everything. That seasons or spend a spring with they won’t be their teams is heartbreaking, and able to work toward a title, a reminder of how central a role finish their sports play in our lives. senior seasons or spend a spring with their teams is heartbreaking, and a reminder of how central a role sports play in our lives. When we get through this outbreak — and we will — sports will be there for us to escape life for a while and enjoy the heartbreak, triumph, trials and victories that only sports can bring. In the meantime, here’s an idea: If you’re up for it, and want to send Cornell student athletes — especially graduating seniors — your appreciation, send me an email at rgendler@cornellsun.com. Address it to whomever you please and say whatever’s on your mind. I’ll try to get your messages to the athletes, and if I can’t, I’ll put them on social media or in a story at cornellsun.com for fans, athletes and Cornellians to see.

SENIOR MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

SENIOR FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

Jeff Teat Is Laxers’ Third All-Time C.U. Point Scorer By MIKE SEITZ Sun Staff Writer

Senior attackman and captain Jeff Teat’s skill, drive and unselfishness are three of the qualities that earned the Canadian box lacrosse product a place in Cornell’s record books and the title of The Sun’s Male Senior Athlete of the Year. The hours that Teat spent honing his craft have transformed him into the phenom that he is. At 5-foot-10, 170 lbs, he is not the biggest, nor the fastest, nor the strongest. Rather, he is consistently the smartest player on the field — visualizing plays before they happen and always seeming to pick out the right pass to set up a teammate. Teat’s career accomplishments have been nationally touted. In both 2018 and 2019, he was a nominee for the Tewaaraton Award — colloquially known as the Heisman Trophy of lacrosse. This year, he was named to the award’s watch list, but the award itself was not given due to the season’s cancellation. From the get go, it was apparent that the Brampton, Ontario native was going to be special. In scoring 72 points during his freshman year, Teat broke the freshman scoring record previously held by attackman Rob Pannell ’13. The next season, Teat helped catalyze a struggling team into a 13-5 record and NCAA Tournament appearance. Teat cites the season’s Ivy League Championship victory and win over rival Syracuse in the Carrier Dome as some of his favorite moments in a Cornell uniform. “Our 2018 playoff push was memorable. We weren’t highly rated but came out with some big wins,” he said. Much of the team’s success stemmed from Teat’s unselfishness. Facilitating a whopping 62 assists across 18 games, he led all of Division I at the time in feeds. His 99 total points stand as the 24th all-time best single season point total in NCAA Division

I history. “Teammates are the most important piece of success,” he said. “I always got to play with teammates that made playing easy.” After being named a USILA All-American as a sophomore, it was clear that Teat was the Red’s talisman. Consequently, he earned the honor to wear the team’s symbolic hardhat in honor of the late George Boiardi ’04. The meaningful distinction that separates this tradition from other accolades is the responsibility of the job — coaches select a junior who epitomizes pride, respect and heart. “It means a lot knowing that the players who came before us did so much for this program both on and off the field,” said Teat. In 2019, the team gained national attention and was featured on The Season documentary. Teat channeled all his powers to lead the Red in points (70) and assists (36) on the big stage, but ultimately the team did not earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The end-of-season disappointment fueled Teat’s fire for his senior year. Improvements showed early on in 2020, as he propelled Cornell to an undefeated 5-0 start. In what proved to be the final game of the season, the team’s biggest challenge came from Penn State. In clutch fashion, Teat stepped up when his team needed him the most. Scoring the game-tying goal with seconds left, Teat laid the groundwork for a dramatic win that was secured just moments later. “Every time we get to put on the big red uniform it means a lot,” Teat said. In retrospect, Teat recognizes that much of his growth has actually occurred off the field — affirming that classroom lessons have deeply impacted his mentality for the future.
