Late Friday night, Ithaca Police arrested 42-year-old Ryan L.

At Bailey Hall, Cornell Yamatai presented Pulse 2025: Reflections, a two-hour Taiko drumming show with 14 pieces performed by its 26 members and guest Miyako Seki from Japan.

After one year of negotiations with the University, Cornell Graduate Students United ratified its first contract on Friday with 97% approval from its members.

Under the contract, graduate workers will receive a 3.9% stipend raise, a 100% TCAT pass subsidy, 12 vacation days, dental and vision insurance, and a one-time $750 matriculation payment while the agreement includes a modified agency shop that lets students donate the union fee if they object.

Cornell announced on April 9th on its FAQ page that a small number of international students had their SEVIS records terminated — ending their legal status; today, administrators have not confirmed the exact number and urge affected students to seek legal counsel.

Flaggers will maintain an alternating traffic pattern (parking area access remains open).

During a weekend game at Mitchel Field, Cornell men’s lacrosse beat Syracuse 17-12—senior attackman CJ Kirst scored his 50th goal and helped secure the team’s No. 1 ranking—before setting its sights on a matchup with Harvard on Saturday, April 19.
