Dear Blackboard Tech Staff,
Nobody knows what the "community" tab is! Every time any student goes to blackboard they need to take the extra step to click on the "my blackboard" tab...why are you trying to make our lives more difficult than they already are?
Sincerely,
Cornellians

No Spring Maintenance….
After last Friday’s 85-degree weather, it appears that Cornell University has used all of its spring maintenance funding on keeping the Lake Effects snow out of the forecast, not accounting for the shocking, yet annual, mid-April snow and sleet storm.

Hunger Games At Cornell: Which College Will Win?

What some people thought was an April Fools joke at Cornell University was actually reality! Oprah was at Cornell. But, how did nobody know about her arrival, her stay or her departure?

Breaking News: Lefties Protest Outside Olin
Yesterday, outside Olin Library, Lefties came together to protest against the abundance of righty desks and lack of lefty desks around Cornell’s Campus.
