You’re Invited: Fellows Alumni Reunion, September 18-19, 2026   

Society for the Humanities | Andrew Dickson White House 

Cornell University | Ithaca, New York 

Join us for a Society for the Humanities fellows alumni reunion, meaningfully scheduled for the 60th anniversary of the program. We’re especially honored to welcome any 1960s and 1970s alumni who met in the building on Wait Avenue, and the alumni who were here for the 1970s refurbishing and move into the A.D. White House.    

Weekend highlights include a Friday evening welcome gathering with current Cornell humanities faculty and current Society Fellows (year of Survival), opportunities to connect with current students, participation in panels on Saturday organized by former Society directors, and a Saturday evening anniversary banquet dinner.  

A full program of events is forthcoming. Check back here for updates!
