It was a celebration more than a decade in the making. A crowd 500 strong gathered Jan. 29 at Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers, in New York City to mark the triumphant completion of Cornell University's multibillion-dollar capital campaign. Launched as "Far Above ..." in 2006 and later re-envisioned as "Cornell Now," the campaign ended Dec. 31, 2015, with $6.36 billion raised for universitywide priorities.
"Fundamentally, the campaign's success is about how many lives are changed for the better through Cornell's mission of education, discovery, public engagement and creativity," said the late President Elizabeth Garrett, who led the celebration.
