Dear
Class ’18 and ‘26 Hall Residents:
My name is Cy Lee and I am a professor and Chairman of the Department
of Food Science and Technology in the College of Agriculture and
Life Sciences, and I am pleased to be your Faculty-in- Residence
for your hall. I would just like to extend a warm welcome to you,
and take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and familiarize
you with some of my roles as your Faculty-in Residence.
I have been a faculty member of Cornell for over thirty years and
teach Food Chemistry and conduct research on biochemical aspects
of plant foods. In addition to teaching students, I was also a
Faculty Fellow for several years before I took on this new role
as a Faculty-in-Residence. The major function of the Faculty-in-Residence
is to provide a liaison between the formal academic programs and
the informal, out-of-class activities that you experience in your
residence halls so that ultimately, your social, cultural, and
intellectual life at Cornell can be further enriched. Since it
is sometimes difficult to have close contacts with the faculty
here at such a large university, one of my roles is to facilitate
such out-of-class contact. I would personally like to become better
acquainted with as many of you as possible, and will make an effort
to be involved in most of your residence hall activities.
I,
along with other Campus Life Staff, including the
Faculty Fellows, RHD, PA, and RAs want to help you
in any way we can to make your living and learning
environment meaningful and comfortable. We are planning
various programs for you for this upcoming year,
including seminars, group discussions, movies, study
breaks, a variety of performances, sports activities… and
anything else we can organize to enhance your experiences
at Cornell. We always encourage any suggestions or
ideas for programs from you!
My wife and I reside at the apartment located at the ground level
of Class ’18 Hall. Please feel free to drop by and visit at
our apartment or approach us whenever you see us. One thing I have
greatly enjoyed over the past years is having the opportunity to
chat with students about anything over meals. I have scheduled
regular weekly dining on Tuesdays to be your meal buddy along Faculty
Fellows, and Viktor, the RHD, will set the time and location for
those dinner meetings.
If
you would like to make any specific requests or schedule
an appointment to see me, please drop a note at our
apartment. When I am at work, I can be reached at
extension 49-271 with the campus telephone or via
e-mail at CYL1@cornell.edu.
Together with the West Campus Staff, I hope to assist
in making your year in the residence hall as enjoyable
and memorable as possible. I look forward to meeting
you all, and will be stopping by your unit during
the first month of the semester to introduce myself
in person.
Sincerely,
Cy
