Celebrate the Sesquicentennial Charter Day Weekend

Charter Day Weekend: April 24-27, 2015

April 24–27, 2015

On April 27, 1865 the governor of New York State signed the bill that officially established Cornell University’s charter. Now, 150 years later, we’ll spend a four-day weekend commemorating this day in our history–the day that defined our land-grant mission and set the stage for generations of Cornellians to help, to solve, and to transform the world.
