Study in US: 500 Cornell University Graduates Join Alumni Ranks

During a Recognition Ceremony at Barton Hall, 500 graduates of Cornell University got their degrees and they transitioned to alumni rank.

Cornell University organized the December Recognition Ceremony on December 22. There 500 students graduated and around 2,000 guests were present at Barton Hall.

Interim President Michael I. Kotlikoff addressed the gathering and said, "Our graduates today are students who, in one way or another, did things a little differently: who charted a course with their own compass, instead of following someone else’s map.”

“They sped on ahead or took some detours, encountered obstacles and found a way around them, or chose a new direction to explore," added the Interim President.

Glimpse Of Cornell University Graduates

Noah Courtney ’24, of Bel Air, Maryland, who after being medically retired from the U.S. Coast Guard attended Harford Community College in Maryland, and in January 2023 transferred to Cornell University. At Cornell, Courtney was biological sciences major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

“I had a super non-traditional path. The military prepared me well; I think community college did an excellent job preparing me. This has been an incredible two years – fast, but incredible," said Courtney.

“We have the best student veteran community in the country,” he said. “People are why I got here. Community is why I got here,” he added.

Sahida Amadou Djibo ’24 commented, “Being in Arts and Sciences, I liked being able to study what I wanted to study and also to explore outside of my major – I think it was the best thing about Cornell and it was exactly what I was looking for."

The institute has found that the an artificial intelligence approach called Reinforcement Learning can guide physicians for better health care and patient outcomes, however it need many improvements before it can be applied.

"RL is a class of machine learning algorithms able to make a series of decisions over time. Responsible for recent AI advances including superhuman performance at chess and Go, RL can use evolving patient conditions, test results and previous treatment responses to suggest the next best step in personalized patient care," reads the Cornell University statement.
