The table talk with Vice President Ryan Lombardi made me excited for what is in store next semester. It was very comforting to hear that 98% of students were complying with the COVID-19 surveillance testing. This could possibly allow for more campus activities and in-person classes in the next semester. Although everything is still pretty uncertain, it seems like Cornell has managed to have the virus more under control. It was also very nice to actually be able to ask VP Ryan Lombardi questions and talk to him directly. Cornell’s success in dealing with the pandemic is inspiring and makes me excited to return for the spring semester.

Endless possibilities
I agree that it is very nice to have the opportunities to talk to VP Ryan Lombardi for us to ask questions. We are lucky to have him to be part of the Rose House Fellow.
I also agree! Having VP Ryan Lombardi really alleviated the stress of the unknown, especially in regards to next semester. I found him especially friendly and willing to talk to students with such ease.
I think that’s really neat that you were able to talk to VP Lombardi and hear his perspective on how the Covid compliance is. I remember he came to Rose House dinner last year when it was announced that we were going home and he was able to answer our questions!
