This morning on the Arts Quad, Cornell Republicans and Cornell Democrats joined together to plant American flags in honor of lives lost in the attacks of September 11, 2001. Throughout the morning, the McGraw Tower chimes are tolling to mark when the planes crashed and towers fell, as our community pauses to honor and remember those killed. Our community is also invited to visit the memorial in the Anabel Taylor Hall rotunda dedicated to the 21 Cornell alumni who died on 9/11.

Today’s the day! The one day of the year when cats are most likely to take over the world… Cat World Domination Day! Stay vigilant, fellow cat lovers. Keep treats within reach and offer the required daily tribute. With any luck, we’ll all make it through the day in one piece.

"Do operate from the depth of your heart, so open to the funny and the ironic and the absurd that you can't help but laugh stupid and cry ugly and be a beacon of life for anyone lucky enough to be in your presence," Jane Lynch, MFA ’84. #Cornell2026
