Heralded as an “Ivy League university with a Big Ten heart,” Cornell University is a privately endowed research university and a partner of the State University of New York. As the federal land-grant institution in New York State, Cornell is moored by its responsibility — unique within the Ivy League — to make contributions in all fields of knowledge in a manner that prioritizes public engagement to help improve the quality of life in the state, the nation, and the world. Boasting an extraordinary alumni base, deep and broad volunteer involvement, and exceptionally committed Trustee leadership, Cornell is on track to achieve the best fundraising year in its history.

The University recently announced its five-year, $5 billion dollar campaign, To Do the Greatest Good, which will focus on three pillars: educating students, tackling the world’s most challenging problems, and connecting Cornell with the world through public engagement, international programs, and global reach.
