As the political tension across the country heightens before the 2008 presidential election, a similar sentiment is spreading across Cornell as four graduate students vie for one of the most influential positions on campus: a seat on the Board of Trustees.
Of the 64 members of the Board, two are students — one graduate and one undergraduate. Serving as full voting members of the Board, the students are able to meet, debate and discuss Cornell issues with all of the University’s trustees at their periodic meetings. Kate Duch ’09 and Mao Ye grad are currently the two student members of the Board.
