Ukrainian students at Cornell experienced major changes in their summer plans as the war in Ukraine makes traveling extremely challenging.
On Wednesday, Consul General of Poland Adrian Kubicki and Rep. Tom Malinowski will discuss Ukrainian refugee crisis.
Though not armed in a literal sense, art historians and archaeologists worldwide find themselves up in arms over the destruction and pillaging of precious artifacts and architecture in Ukraine.
Cornell, how can you justify having a program in Beijing? How can you justify not addressing the 40 Chinese Cornell students booing NurMuhammed? Her freedom of expression is at risk. I’m glad we have the Ukraine flag up in Klarman; now we must also recognize the Uyghur genocide with the same compassion and visible support.
It’s never been easy to be from Russia. Okay, it actually was for a while. The 90s were a tumultuous time, but I was a kid. And the 2000s, when I was learning to think, were a decade of prosperity compared to before (or after). If I talked to foreigners, we mostly joked about bears and balalaika (but it is no joke that some actually believed I had a pet bear that I rode to school).
Since Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine, students and faculty across campus have organized initiatives to educate Cornellians on the conflict.
We cannot afford to overestimate the amount of background knowledge Cornell students have regarding President Vladimir Putin’s aggression against Ukraine. In communities across the country and across the world, the opinions of Cornell students and alumni are exalted by mere name recognition.
The West’s weakness is what enabled Putin to realize his imperial project. His goal is to bring Russia to the so-called “former glory” of the Soviet Union, which he sees only in terms of military power.
I urge you to raise your voice in support of Ukraine and donate if possible so we can spread awareness about this heartbreaking situation.
For the second time in five days, supporters gathered in Ho Plaza in solidarity with Ukraine as the nation fights a Russian invasion.
