Since its inception, the Student Assembly has served as a key advocate for student interests on campus, providing student feedback to campus administration. However, as part of its role in voicing the interests and concerns of the student body, the Student Assembly also has a secondary role in addition to advocacy: byline funding and student aid.
Thaddeus Lucentini ’29, an ROTC officer cadet and student in the College of Arts and Sciences, died while home on break in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, on Oct. 13. Lucentini, who was known as ‘Thad’ by his friends, is remembered for his curiosity and palpable happiness.
The Lansing Town Board unanimously voted to withdraw its proposed land-use moratorium on development at its Nov. 19 meeting without discussion or explanation, allowing for construction on the controversial TeraWulf Data Center to be able to begin.
Welcome back to Ithaca. Thanksgiving break is over, and so are classes; thus, the semesterly final exam period is upon us — and accompanying it, the looming necessity of a lock-in arc. Given the scientific backing for the benefits of listening to music while studying, including improved focus, reduced anxiety and increased motivation, those who want to get the most they can out of the upcoming study period would be wise to use music as a tool to help them buckle down in the library and prepare themselves for a successful round of exams.
Between classes, late-night study sessions and the constant swirl of campus life, committing to a ten-season show can feel impossible. Netflix limited series offers a solution. These self-contained narratives can be experienced over only a weekend, yet leave a lingering emotional imprint long after the credits roll. Some of my personal favorites include Echoes, Behind Her Eyes and Fool Me Once.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, I braved the below-freezing weather, trekking from North Campus to the Schwartz to watch the Cornell Ballet Club’s performance of The Nutcracker — a worthy way of procrastinating writing my three final papers, if I do say so myself. The Nutcracker was my second CBC production, and I was absolutely thrilled to be watching these dancers perform again. I knew from Swan Lake last year that I was in for an awe-inspiring display that would have me listening to Tchaikovsky on the walk back to my dorm (which, thankfully, can no longer affect my Spotify wrapped).
I’ve dearly missed interviewing student artists this semester, picking their brains to understand the myriad ways creativity blossoms in each person differently, getting to see their masterpieces and have genuine conversations about their craft. Luckily, that longing was satiated by Phoebe Finkel ’28, a BFA student whose paintings and prints combine absurdity and realism, color and shape, humor and seriousness in a way that’s completely captivating.
Men’s basketball had one half left to protect its lead. But the relentless Towson University Tigers didn’t let that happen.
CANTON, N.Y. — Seven goals were scored, 11 players had points and eight players tallied multi-point nights. But one of the loudest cheers erupting from the Cornell bench on Saturday came when senior defenseman Jack O’Brien blocked a hard St. Lawrence shot on a late third-period penalty kill.
At the halfway point of Saturday’s match against No. 11 Princeton, women’s hockey led 1-0. It had outshot and outscored for half an hour, killed off two power plays and was looking for a comeback to the previous night’s disappointment against Quinnipiac.
The Alpha CubeSat team — a student-led group in Cornell’s Space Systems Design Studio that creates spaceflight technology — successfully deployed the world’s first free-flying light sail into Earth’s orbit on Wednesday night. Light sails are an emerging method of spaceflight that harness the momentum of sunlight for acceleration.
On Friday night at Lynah Rink, women’s hockey outshot Quinnipiac 34-18, had three power-play chances to the Bobcats' one, and dominated play throughout the second half of the game. But faced with a red-hot goaltender, Cornell could not find a way to put the puck in the back of the net, and fell 3-0 to the Bobcats.

Maxton Hall has wrapped up season two with a smashing cliffhanger, leaving viewers reeling but intrigued. Though Episode Three was aptly titled "Emotional Rollercoaster," Episode Four is where the real roller coaster begins. Between the ever-increasing family drama, the tightening of James and Lydia's bond and the rekindling of James and Ruby's romance, Season Two, Part Two certainly kept this viewer entertained.
If you were in elementary school sometime circa 2016, you might remember sprinting home after school, tossing your backpack on your bedroom floor and opening your battered iPad mini, its screen smudged with fingerprints and all, to watch Aphmau’s “MyStreet” season finale. There you were, squealing in a decibel that would have had an adult-you cringing, as you watched Aaron finally ask Aphmau to be his girlfriend. And for those who have no idea what I’m talking about, MyStreet is not a TV show, or a movie, or even a cartoon. It’s a Minecraft roleplay series.
As the snow pours down in Ithaca and finals week nears, No. 17 men’s hockey is grinding through the week to reach the end of the semester.
On Oct. 22, Misty Copeland (the keynote speaker at Senior Convocation last year) took her final bow after 25 years with the American Ballet Theatre. For her last dance, she performed “Romeo and Juliet,” Kyle Abraham’s “Wrecka Stow” and Twyla Tharp’s “Sinatra Suite.” Copeland’s standout career warranted a showstopping conclusion, and that is exactly what she provided with this performance. But the part that took social media by storm and struck me in particular was her dance to “My Way” as part of the “Sinatra Suite.” I truly cannot think of a more badass song to close out such a storied career with. Now, I must concede that Frank Sinatra’s whole discography is a masterclass in melodrama, so “My Way” does not exactly distinguish itself in this way; however, for a song written for Sinatra by someone else, it seems — and feels — tremendously personal. Sinatra himself thought the song was “self-serving and self-indulgent,” but I beg to differ. It’s honest, vulnerable and the ultimate song for self-reflection, hence why it brought on such an emotional reaction at the ballet and made for the perfect sign-off for Copeland. So, this week, in honor of Copeland and her final bow, I’ll be revisiting Sinatra’s 1969 record My Way.
