The purpose of The BLACBook is to develop community and togetherness among black students and groups on Cornell's campus, as well as to connect with the larger Ithaca black community. The BlacBook seeks to put together a yearbook at the conclusion of each academic year that highlights and shares the experiences of black students, black groups, black events, and so on.
The BLACBook is more than just a publication; it is a living archive of our experiences at Cornell.
Creating a permanent, physical record of Black excellence and student life on campus.
Bridging the gap between various student organizations and the greater Ithaca area.
The BLACBook is always looking for passionate students to help bring our annual publication to life. Whether your skills lie in event photography, digital layout design, or editorial writing, you can play a crucial role in curating our community’s visual history.

Group Registration & Requirements

Photo Submission
We want to highlight your best moments! When submitting photos from your events, general body meetings, or galas, please ensure they are high-resolution for the best print quality. Include a brief event description and the names of featured individuals so our editorial team can caption them accurately.
