The awards celebrate the service of a new generation of alumni volunteers and honor Harrison’s long-standing commitment to Cornell. Harrison served as a student trustee from 1975 to 1976, launching what would become nearly five decades of service to the university. He recently offered a $10 million gift that is enhancing the College Scholar Program in the College of Arts and Sciences and supporting undergraduate scholarships.
