Good morning, Meinig alumni!
Will you be in Ithaca for Cornell Reunion 2026 (June 4th-7th)? If so, and if your schedule allows, we’d love to invite you to stop by and say hello at the Commitment Office in 300 Kennedy Hall.
Our office hours are 9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and we know it’s a busy time on campus. Even if you can only pop in briefly for a quick hello (or goodbye!), we’d still be thrilled to see your smiling faces.
Hope to see you soon!

To provide insight into Allan’s commitment to impactful leadership, he writes: “As a Meinig Scholar, I’ve come to believe that the balance of work and reflection is precisely what ethical, people-centered leadership demands. It is not enough to simply act; you must know why you’re acting and for whom.”

To lead with presence, collaboration, and a commitment to empowering others is to lead well. Reggie’s commitment to Big Red leadership is reflected in his experience as a CUEMS provider: “I learned what it means to be a steady presence who is able to step up and provide a helping hand even when it is inconvenient. Providing care in these moments taught me that leadership isn’t about giving orders; it’s about collaboratively serving the mission and selflessly taking care of people.”

Congratulations to Meinig Scholar Jonathan Lam ’27, one of three recipients of the Robinson-Appel Humanitarian Awards, which recognize undergraduates for community-engaged work addressing pressing social challenges. In partnership with Mekong NYC, Jonathan supports Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee communities through civic engagement initiatives and anti-deportation resources.

The fourth annual Community Engagement Awards celebrated community-engaged work by students, faculty and staff from across Cornell over the past year.
