Happy Philanthropy Day

As part of the local Philanthropy Day project Nov. 7 -- a collaboration between various Cornell offices, the United Way of Tompkins County and other community organizations -- Cornell students worked with children in local Head Start programs on a sharing activity created by Cornell student Melissa Karp centered on the book Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister.
