'Cornell University marks 150th anniversary'

Congratulations to Cornell University on 150 outstanding years!

"Cornell University has been an incredible economic engine locally, a cornerstone of agriculture and rural affairs, and an unparalleled leader in securing a prominent place for us in the high-tech, research and development economy of the future.  It's difficult to say enough about Cornell's impact and importance across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions.  We're incredibly grateful for the university’s contributions to our farmers, our wine-and-grape industry, so many of our high-tech entrepreneurs, our rural communities through Cooperative Extension, and in so many difference-making ways," said Senator Tom O'Mara (R,C-Big Flats), whose 58th Senatorial District includes Cornell University

Read the Senate Resolution sponsored by Senator O'Mara and approved by the Senate on March 31, 2015.
