  Co-Op Mosey Open House: Sunday, February 12^th, 1:00 – 5:00pm 

The Co-ops are open to all undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Co-ops are unique, collaborative communities governed by their student residents, and are among the least expensive housing options on campus.  Members determine house rules and participate in daily operations, including routine cleaning and maintenance. Decisions affecting each house are made democratically at individual house meetings. Houses range in size from as few as 10 to as many as 35 members. Most are mixed gender while others house only female-identifying students. Several have a mixture of both undergraduate and graduate students. Most of the co-ops offer both single and double rooms. Five co-ops have meal plans; all have shared kitchens. 

For more information about cooperative living see https://housing.cornell.edu/cooperatives  The webpages list: types of rooms and amenities in each house; the number of residents; whether the house has a meal plan; the address and location; and contact information for the house.    

 Applying for residency is handled independently by each house. Most houses will host additional events up until February 23^rd, and applicants will be notified Thursday night, March 2^nd of their status.   

Resources 

Start the semester strong 

Establishing a foundation of self-care helps promote your mental health and support your academic success all semester long. Check out Cornell Health’s top 10 tips for thriving at Cornell, as well as their free workshops and resources to support your health and well-being.  
 

CAPS spring counseling groups  

Did you know that for many concerns, group support is as effective or MORE effective than individual counseling? CAPS offers free counseling groups to help students manage anxiety, depression, eating concerns, substance use, and more, with groups especially for students of color and LGBTQ+ students. See what students say about CAPS groups. 

Hazing: Not just an innocent rite of passage   

Joining a group, team, or organization should never jeopardize your physical or mental health. Most groups at Cornell don’t haze – and 91% of Cornell students say it's never okay to humiliate or intimidate new group members – but whenever new members join, there is the potential for hazing. Visit hazing.cornell.edu to see how Cornell defines hazing, review campus hazing violations, and learn how to report hazing online or get support for related concerns. 

 Campus Events

Cornell's 2023 MLK Commemorative Lecture will take place on February 13 at 7:00pm in Sage Chapel. The topic for this year's lecture is "Derailed by Diversity: Racial Justice after Affirmative Action" and is focused on the future of racial justice in higher education. Richard T. Ford, Stanford University Law Professor, will deliver the lecture. If you would like to attend virtually, you can register in advance for a livestream through eCornell. A recording of the event will also be available for those who register for the livestream.
