A history of bold aspirations

History makers in Arts & Sciences

Throughout our history and today, students and faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences set high expectations for themselves. We follow our curiosities to solve the world’s greatest challenges, create impactful creative works and pursue research that helps us understand each other. We also share that knowledge to improve our world. Here are just a few of our most notable alumni and faculty.

Philanthropy that has built the heart of Cornell

As we support our faculty and their groundbreaking research, we also challenge, mentor and inspire our students as they experience a world-class education. As our buildings form the cornerstone of campus, so our research crosses colleges and disciplines to bridge discovery and impact.

To do this excellent work, we rely on the generous gifts of alumni, parents and friends. From historic building projects to investments in postdoctoral fellowships to scholarship support, gifts to the college allow us to fulfill our mission to foster and share life-changing research and to guide students on their transformational journeys.

The Milstein program combines a liberal arts education in Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences with cutting-edge coursework at Cornell Tech in New York City.
