Cornell’s Class of ’66 has once again left a mark on the Hill. 🎉Last weekend , they celebrated the new Class of ’66 Overlook, a space meant to inspire connection, reflection, and a shared sense of belonging for the entire Cornell community. With Big Red pride, we thank the Class of ’66 for their  generosity, vision, and enduring commitment to Cornell.

“In morning snow, at evening sunset,
By straight and crooked paths,
We too climbed the Hill,
Becoming friends,
Becoming a Class,
Becoming Cornellians.
Come share this glorious view.”

— The Cornell Class of ’66, 60th Reunion, June 2026 ♥️
