From Alena Hutchinson ’16, Dilmun Hill Market Garden Manager:
Would you like to get more involved with Cornell’s student-run farm? Consider joining the Dilmun Hill Steering Committee.
Application deadline is October 3.
The Steering Committee, a small working group of dedicated Dilmun Hill undergrads and Organic Farm Coordinator Betsy Leonard, facilitates governance. This committee formed in Spring 2008 due to expressed need for greater transparency and coordination of the site. The work of the committee enhances the work of the Student Club at Dilmun, and also manages logistical and administrative needs implicit in running a farm, coordinating a variety of volunteers and collaborating with Cornell administration and departments. Membership on the committee is open every semester to undergrads, and one graduate or a non-student/community member position since they also comprise an active element at Dilmun. The Student/Faculty/Staff Advisory Board, comprised of four faculty/staff members and four Steering Committee alumni, facilitates policy making for Dilmun Hill.
Submit your written application by October 3rd to Betsy Leonard, bai1@cornell.edu.
