Renee Alexander RED Talk Reminder–Wednesday, April 15 at 8 pm ET
Students are back from Spring Break and ready (hopefully) for the final push to the end of the semester.
Now we want you to get ready–for our next RED Talk Zoom Wednesday, April 15 at 8pm ET. This RED Talk coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Cornell Black Alumni Association (CBAA) which is celebrating with a gala in Washington, DC later this month. Our RED Talk webinar will feature our classmate Renee Alexander. (Information about the CBAA gala can be found here.
Renee is one of the founders of CBAA, and more importantly was a member of the record-breaking and legendary cohort of Black students who matriculated as freshmen at Cornell in Fall 1970. After a career in advertising and publishing, Renee went back to school to get a master’s and PhD degree in education. She then returned to Cornell where she served as the Associate Dean of Students, University Diversity Officer, and Director of Campus Climate Initiatives.
Renee has seen and been a direct participant in the recent half-century arc of diversity at Cornell, which today is one of the University’s defining characteristics. She will be speaking with us about the founding, the journey, and the future of the Black experience at Cornell. Please join us for what is sure to be an enlightening discussion.

Hope to see you at the RED Talk!
