I'm thrilled to be joining @Cornell as the Harold Tanner Dean of @CornellCAS. Cornell’s longstanding commitment to "any student, any study" aligns perfectly with my own values and commitments. The College plays a central role in that. I feel so lucky and can't wait to start.

I met with our military pilots who are training at the International Test Pilots School in Canada. The guys are training to master modern fighter jets, including F-16s and Gripens, and strengthen Ukraine’s combat aviation. We’re doing everything we can to protect our skies, and the key to that is having good, motivated pilots. We’re proud that Ukraine and our Armed Forces have a generation of young pilots like this. I thank Canada, all the instructors, and the training center for providing high-quality training.

I think there is a lot of merit to this case.

A centrally important point, in my view, is that the price differential in undergrad offerings is not nearly as big as the quality differential.

People are under-pricing the possibility of a black-swan-esque event where significant chunks of higher ed collapse suddenly. At some point parents will decide they will not pay $100-400k combined for their kids to cheat their way through college. I expect a bang, not a whimper.

Cornell has a larger ROTC cohort than any other Ivy+ university. Smart, disciplined, given to service, and dialled in.

A great university has many paths in and out and I am so glad ROTC is one of them.

Last week, Cornell leadership welcomed members of our military community during the fifth annual Military and Veteran Reception — celebrating their commitment to public service as we kick off the new academic year.
