New York City Communications
Cornell University's New York City Communications Office was established in 2005 to enhance the university's visibility in New York City and the greater metropolitan area by increasing awareness of its many programs, events and partnerships throughout the city.
Partnerships have been formed with Mayor Bloomberg's Office of Cultural Affairs, the 92nd St Y and the New York Public Library to support Cornell programs in NYC. Events include the quarterly Inside Cornell luncheon series for members of the media, featuring thematic lectures and discussion with Cornell's faculty and administrators at The Cornell Club. Past Inside Cornell speakers include Robert H. Frank, Brian Wansink and Tim Gallagher.
In 2008, the New York City Communications expanded to include the university's Press Relations satellite office, to help connect local, regional and international media with Cornell's world-renowned resources and experts, as well as its Cooperative Extension offices serving 62 counties in New York.
