On May 4, 2024, WVBR News Director Jack Donnellan sat down with Royal D. Colle and Heike Michelsen for an hour-long interview about Beyond Borders: Exploring the History of Cornell's Global Dimensions (Cornell University Press, 2024). Colle and Michelsen, alongside Elaine D. Engst and Corey Ryan Earle, edited the book, which "highlights and celebrates Cornell University's many historical achievements and international activities going back to its founding."
Beyond Boarders is a collection of fifty-eight vignettes, penned by authors drawn from different personal backgrounds and academic disciplines. It is a unique and timely representation of the Cornell story. You can purchase it here, or at your favorite local bookstore.
