"Extraordinary Opportunities" Campaign Launched in Minneapolis

On November 15, 2008, nearly 70 alumni  and friends gathered for the Minnesota launch of Cornell’s Extraordinary Opportunities campaign.  Interlachen Country Club in Edina, MN provided a magnificent backdrop as President Les Garner gave an update on Cornell’s $92 million campaign, which has raised nearly $86 million to date.  Alumni young and old were joined by Dean Chris Carlson (emeritus, Sociology) and Bob Black (biology) as they enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dessert, and the company of fellow Cornellians, punctuated by announced improvements, additions and upgrades to the campus that will truly create extraordinary opportunities for future generations of alumni.
