Cornell's responsibility as a land-grant university requires the institution to dedicate itself to basic and applied research and, in the tradition of public service, to be equally dedicated to passing that knowledge on in meaningful and relevant ways throughout the state. This page will detail ways that Cornell is accomplishing this mission. If you have an idea for the Land Grant Cornell page, contact Krishna Ramanujan at ksr32@cornell.edu.
