June 2006

Reunion Weekend coverage
A record-breaking crowd of more than 6,600 alumni and guests attended Reunion Weekend, June 8-11. Read about some of the lectures given, including President Rawlings' State of the University address. View a photo gallery and listen to alumni reminisce in one of three podcasts of the weekend's activities.

Speaking of podcasts, for the past month Chronicle Online has been experimenting with offering "news and features with the sounds and voices of Cornell University." The pilot program covered Commencement and Reunion events, as well as a supplement to the story on the self-injury study. Information about subscribing to Chronicle Online podcasts and the mp3 files themselves are available online. Give them a listen, and let us know what you think.
