Weill Cornell Medical College Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Cornell University is a private university located in Ithaca, New York, USA. The youngest member of the Ivy League, Cornell was founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White as a coeducational, non-sectarian institution where admission was offered irrespective of religion or race. These ideals, unconventional for the time, are captured in Cornell’s motto, an 1865 Ezra Cornell quotation: “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” From a new residential college housing system to its 2001 founding of a medical college in Qatar, Cornell claims “to serve society by educating the leaders of tomorrow and extending the frontiers of knowledge.” Cornell counts more than 240,000 living alumni, 28 Rhodes Scholars and 40 Nobel laureates affiliated with the university as faculty or students. Cornell spent $605 million on research and development in a diverse group of fields during the July 2005 to June 2006 fiscal year. Cornell University was created on April 27, 1865 by a New York State Senate bill that named the university as the state’s land grant institution. Senator Ezra Cornell offered his farm in Ithaca, New York, as a site and $500,000 of his personal fortune as an initial endowment. Two years later, Cornell admitted its first women students, making it the first coeducational school among what came to be known as the Ivy League. Cornell expanded significantly in the 20th century, with its student population growing to its current count of about 20,000 students. In 2001, the university founded the Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, the first American medical school outside of the United States. Furthermore, the New York State Governor, the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, and the President Pro Tem of the New York State Senate all serve as ex-officio members of Cornell’s Board of Trustees. Despite some similarities, Cornell’s contract colleges are not public or state schools — they are private institutions that Cornell operates by contract with the state government. Cornell is decentralized, with its colleges and schools exercising wide autonomy. Undergraduate Endowed Contract Graduate and professional Endowed Contract Cornell’s main campus is on East Hill in Ithaca, New York, overlooking the town and Cayuga Lake. When the university was founded in 1865, the campus consisted of 209.5 acres (0.85 km²) of Ezra Cornell’s roughly 300-acre (1.2 km²) farm. Adjacent to the main campus, Cornell owns the 2,900-acre (11.7 km²) Cornell Plantations, a botanical garden containing flowers, trees, and ponds along manicured trails. Weill Medical Center, often called Weill Cornell, is on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It is home to two Cornell divisions, Weill Medical College and Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and has been affiliated with the New York-Presbyterian Hospital since 1927. Many faculty members have joint appointments at these institutions, and Weill Cornell, Rockefeller, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering offer the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program to selected entering Cornell medical students. In addition to the medical center, New York City hosts local offices for some of Cornell’s service programs. The Cornell Urban Scholars Program encourages students to pursue public service careers with organizations working with New York City’s poorest children, families, and communities. The College of Human Ecology and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences provide means for students to reach out to local communities by gardening and building with the Cornell Cooperative Extension. The college is part of Cornell’s program to increase its international influence. Cornell University owns and operates many facilities around the world. The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, site of the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, is operated by Cornell under a contract with the National Science Foundation. The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in Sapsucker Woods in Ithaca, New York, performs research on biological diversity, primarily in birds. The mission of the Cornell Biological Field Station in Bridgeport, New York, is “to provide a center for long-term ecological research and support the University’s educational programs, with special emphasis on freshwater lacustrine systems.” Cornell in Washington is a program that allows students to study for a semester in Washington, D.C., in research and internship positions while earning credit toward a degree. Cornell in Rome, operated by the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, allows students to use the city as a resource for learning architecture, urban studies, and art. Cornell enrolls students from all 50 U.S. states and more than 120 countries. For the August 2005 to May 2006 academic year, Cornell University had 1,594 full-time and part-time academic faculty members affiliated with its main campus. In total, 40 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with Cornell as faculty or students. Cornell’s faculty for the 2005-06 academic year included three Nobel laureates, a Crafoord Prize winner, two Turing Award winners, a Fields Medal winner, two Legion of Honor recipients, a World Food Prize winner, an Andrei Sakharov Prize winner, three National Medal of Science winners, two Wolf Prize winners, five MacArthur award winners, four Pulitzer Prize winners, two Eminent Ecologist Award recipients, a Carter G. Lehman announced that he would resign from the position of Cornell President effective June 30, 2005, citing “differences with the board regarding the strategy for realizing Cornell’s long-term vision.” Cornell offers undergraduate curricula with international focuses, including the Africana Studies, French Studies, German Studies, Jewish Studies, Latino Studies, Near Eastern Studies, Romance Studies, and Russian Literature majors. Cornell was the first university to teach modern Far Eastern languages. In addition to traditional academic programs, Cornell students may study abroad on any of six continents. Cornell has an agreement with Peking University allowing students in the CAPS major to spend a semester in Beijing. Similarly, the College of Engineering has an agreement to exchange faculty and graduate students with Tsinghua University in Beijing, and the School of Hotel Administration has a joint master’s program with Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has signed an agreement with Japan’s National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, as well as the University of the Philippines, Los Baños, to engage in joint research and exchange graduate students and faculty members. The Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar trains new doctors to improve health services in the region. Cornell has partnered with Queen’s University in Canada to offer a joint Executive MBA. The only program of its kind in the world, graduates of the program earn both a Cornell MBA and a Queen’s MBA. Cornell was ranked eighth nationally and first among Ivy League universities in The Washington Monthly’s 2006 ranking of universities’ contributions to research, community service, and social mobility. In 2006, The Princeton Review reported that Cornell ranked ninth as a “dream college” for high school students and their parents. The Undergraduate Business Program at Cornell University ranked #11 Nationally in US News & U.S. News ranked the Weill Cornell Medical School as the 15th best in the United States in its 2007 edition. The Cornell Law School was ranked as the 13th best graduate law program among national universities. In 2005, The National Law Journal reported that Cornell Law had the sixth highest placement rate at the top 50 law firms in the U.S. among law schools with recent graduates. In its 2006 ranking and 2007 ranking of undergraduate engineering programs at universities in the United States, U.S. News placed Cornell first in engineering physics. In 1954, Conrad Hilton called the Cornell School of Hotel Administration “the greatest hotel school in the world.” According to the latest ranking of National Research Council in 1995, Cornell ranks sixth nationally in the number of graduate programs in the top ten in their fields. The Cornell University Library is the eleventh largest academic library in the United States, ranked by number of volumes held. The Cornell University Press, established in 1869 but inactive from 1884 to 1930, was the first university publishing enterprise in the United States. For the 2005-06 academic year, Cornell had 886 registered student organizations. Organized in 1868, the oldest student organization is the Cornell University Glee Club. The Class Halls will be demolished and rebuilt as five residential colleges named after notable deceased Cornell professors. The idea of building a house system can be attributed in part to the success of Risley Residential College, the oldest continually operating residential college at Cornell. In its 2006 rankings of college campus food, The Princeton Review ranked Cornell’s dining services fourth overall. The university has 31 on-campus dining locations, and a program called the Cross Country Gourmet Guest Restaurant Series periodically brings chefs, menus, and atmosphere from restaurants to Cornell’s eight all-you-care-to-eat dining halls. An NCAA Division I-AA institution, Cornell is a member of the Ivy League and ECAC Hockey League and competes in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), the largest athletic conference in North America. Generally, although Cornell’s varsity athletic teams typically earn their “share” of Ivy League titles, they do not perform well in the ECAC conference or the NCAA overall, and fail to compete consistently for national championships in most sports. Cornell University’s football team has won the Ivy League championship three times, last in 1990. In total, Cornell’s varsity athletic teams have been champions of the NCAA, ECAC, or Ivy League 114 times. Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania are long-time rivals in football. Cornell’s football series against both the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth College are tied for second longest uninterrupted college football match-ups in history, both dating back to 1919. Cornell students also often participate in the International Rutabaga Curling Championship, held annually at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market. Cornellian traditions include Slope Day, a celebration held on the last day of classes, and Dragon Day, which includes the burning of a dragon built by architecture students. “Cornellian” is also used as an adjective and as the name of the university’s yearbook. In 2004–05, Cornell received 200 invention disclosures, filed 203 U.S. patent applications, completed 77 commercial license agreements, and distributed royalties of more than $4.1 million to Cornell units and inventors. In 1984, the National Science Foundation began work on establishing five new supercomputer centers, including the Cornell Theory Center, to provide high-speed computing resources for research within the United States. In 1985, a team from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications began the development of NSFNet, a TCP/IP-based computer network that could connect to the ARPANET, at the Cornell Theory Center and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For the 2004-05 fiscal year, Cornell ranked third for gifts and bequests from alumni, and fourth for total support from all sources (alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations) among U.S. colleges and universities reporting voluntary gift support. Information about Cornell graduates, most of which is submitted by the graduates themselves, is available in the Cornell Alumni Magazine. After his Cornell education, David Starr Jordan went on to become the president of Indiana University and subsequently founding president of Stanford University.
