Class of ’64 John F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Graduating Seniors

Apply for the Class of ’64 John F. Kennedy Award – A $15,000 award for a graduating senior!

 

Information about the award:

The purpose of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Award is to encourage well-qualified students to enter careers in government or other public service fields. The Class of 1964 urges graduating Cornellians to consider careers in public service and invites them to apply. We’ve had students from all colleges win!

This $15,000 award endeavors to further President Kennedy’s intense interest in realizing the leadership potential of America’s youth, as evidenced by the creation of such programs as the Peace Corps and the White House Summer Seminar. Throughout his presidency, Kennedy sought to bring together the intellectual power of the country’s college and university scholars with the practical skills of politicians and statesmen in the service of national leadership.  The Cornell Class of 1964 feels that the United States will remain strong only if it is ably led, that our leadership must be constantly rejuvenated, and that the solutions to our nation’s problems require the practical application of the knowledge and analytical abilities derived from a college education. 

Due Date: Thursday, November 18

Graduation Audit Meetings and Commencement

Good afternoon!

To my MAE juniors: it is time for a graduation audit meeting! This is required. Let’s make sure you are on track and verify your completed requirements so far. You can make a half an hour long appointment on my calendar here. Please be sure to include your NetID. Any time not blocked off by blue/yellow blocks is fair game. All meetings will be conducted over zoom, I send a link roughly 10 minutes before the appointment. Meetings can also be held over the summer but don’t wait!

To my MAE seniors: All 3 required “quizzes” are now live on the ME Senior Design Canvas page. Please complete them at your convenience. The first two quizzes are very short- maybe 5 minutes of your time. The final quiz does not have to be completed until you have submitted your final report to your senior design faculty advisor. MAE will have an online graduation ceremony, more information will be coming very soon. Please don’t forget to get your advisor approved electives officially approved, if you have not already sent me an email!

For MAE December 2021 seniors who would like to attend the May 2021 in person university commencement, please see the announcement from the Commencement Office below:

Due to COVID health regulations we have recently determined the following for Dec. ’21 grads to attend an early Commencement.

  1. They can only attend if they are in Ithaca now and in Daily Check and testing program. They will need to follow testing plans during Commencement week.
  2. They’ll need to show that they are compliant with negative testing within 72 hours, of attending Commencement ceremonies, or show Fully vaccinated records of 14 days after receiving both shots or the single J&J shot.
  3. Wearing the academic regalia is required to attend Commencement ceremonies.
  4. Students must order Cap & Gown NOW to be shipped directly to them as we will not have on campus distribution,
  5. Their name will NOT be in the program at the stadium, it will be in next year’s program.
  6. They will NOT receive automatic communications so will need to refer to the Commencement website for information.
  7. They must wear a mask at all events on campus and in the stadium.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Kae-Lynn

  • Note: Your actual full senior design report is only submitted to your project advisor. The undergraduate office does not need a copy of it. We only need your approved content summary forms and answers.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions [kbw28].

Advisor Approved Electives

Please also obtain email approval for your advisor approved electives and forward to Kae-Lynn [kbw28].

Below are some updates and announcements from MAE Director, David Erickson.

Dear Cornell MAE Students,

In response to concerns about the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), President Martha Pollock has announced that Cornell University, including MAE, will be moving promptly to online delivery of all courses with complete remote delivery by the end of spring break.  A number of new travel and Cornell related event restrictions have been announced as well.  The full text of the letter is available here (https://statements.cornell.edu/2020/20200310-coronavirus-update.cfm).

The faculty and staff in MAE are working hard on the transition to on-line delivery of courses and student services.   As part of this we will host a series of open online listening sessions for students in all degree programs to voice their concerns, specifically those related to the MAE program.   These might include concerns about the operation of MAE classes, access to facilities, completion of graduation requirements, etc.  Understanding your concerns will help us manage the transition as well as we can.

The time and date of the meeting for undergraduate students is Thursday (March 12th) 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.  Zoom information included below.

To facilitate the meeting, please submit your questions in advance through the link below (https://cornell.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0Bzh1Tg0cB4Wtrn).  This meeting will be recorded and made accessible to those who cannot attend.

Thank you very much,

David
