Cornell honors standout staff across three campuses

For the first time, Cornell’s Employee Excellence Awards went global, recognizing top staff from Ithaca, NYC, and Qatar, according to Cornell Chronicle.


More than 75 employees were celebrated Dec. 3 at the Statler Ballroom and via livestream. The expanded awards drew nearly 300 nominations across eight categories—from culinary innovation to sustainability and inclusive leadership.

The new global reach reflects Cornell’s push for a unified culture, with winners praised for driving excellence and inspiring their teams.
