Jonathan Zhu, J.D. ’92, whose A.D. White Fellowship allowed him to attend Cornell, has established the Zhu Family Graduate Fellowships supporting humanities doctoral students at Cornell University. Each of the three 2025 fellows – who are pursuing art history, anthropology, and science and technology studies, appreciates that the fellowship’s financial support paired with release from teaching responsibilities allows them the flexibility to pursue research questions as they arise.
The researchers' finding has implications for the 2022 midterm elections.

Léa Bonnefoy ‘15, a post-doctoral researcher, led a team of Cornell scientists to characterize the Dragonfly mission's landing site on Saturn’s moon Titan. The rotorcraft is expected to launch in 2027 and reach that moon in 2034.
When NASA’s 990-pound Dragonfly rotorcraft reaches Saturn’s moon in 2034, Cornell’s Léa Bonnefoy '15 will have helped to make it a smooth landing.
