About this title

Synopsis

Beyond Borders highlights and celebrates Cornell University's many historical achievements in international activities going back to its founding. This collection of fifty-eight short chapters reflects the diversity, accomplishments, and impact of remarkable engagements on campus and abroad.

These vignettes, many written by authors who played pivotal roles in Cornell's international history, take readers around the world to China and the Philippines with agricultural researchers, to Peru with anthropologists, to Qatar and India with medical practitioners, to Eastern Europe with economists and civil engineers, to Zambia and Sierra Leone with students and Peace Corps volunteers, and to many more places. Readers also will learn about Cornell's many international dimensions on campus, including the international studies and language programs and the library and museum collections. Beyond Borders captures how―by educating generations of global citizens, producing innovative research and knowledge, building institutional capacities, and forging mutually beneficial relationships―Cornell University has influenced positive change in the world.

Beyond Borders was supported by CAPE (Cornell Academics and Professors Emeriti).
