Farghli, Alexandra Khlyustova, Chloe Cheng, Jennifer Houtz, and Kara Zielinski.</p> <p><strong>Alaa R. Farghli, Ph.D. Candidate, Genetics, Genomics, and Development<br /> </strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Alaa Farghli is an exceptional community champion. He founded the Arab Graduate Student Association, serves as the OISE Graduate Coordinator for Community Engagement, and organizes and attends campus events as a Dean’s Scholar. He was a founding member of the MBG Diversity Council and has recurringly participated in GRASSHOPPR and EYH event. To Alaa, these positions are not discrete; community is holistic and the enthusiasm, love, and openness that he brings to these roles are as essential in everyday interactions as they are when he speaks at a podium. Alaa’s greatest strength lies in his ability to energize those around him, to build community no matter the size through his earnest commitment to inclusion. For example, when Alaa first founded the Arab Graduate Student Association there were only 13 members. Attendance at events was regularly in the single digits. In a context like Cornell, and for a racial-ethnic group that is generally underrepresented in elite spaces and especially so within the Ivy Leagues, it’s easy to be demoralized. Alaa understands that there is strength in every form and scale of representation. His attitude, consistent positivity, and endurance allowed AGSA to thrive. In a space where numbers are often the most valued justification for inclusion, Alaa has actively worked to engage with diversity at every level. Unfortunately for us, Alaa will be graduating soon.

The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> are members of the Hodinǫ̱hsǫ́:nih Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> people, past and present, to these lands and waters.<br> This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> leadership. </p></div> <div class="two-col padded footer-links"> <div> <h3 class='h6'>Quick Links</h3> <ul class="list-menu vertical"><li id="menu-item-3570" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3570"><a href="https://intranet.gradschool.cornell.edu">Intranet</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3571" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3571"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/events/">Events</a></li> <li id="menu-item-124" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-124"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/resources/">Resources</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3573" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3573"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/forms/">Forms</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3574" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3574"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/policies">Policies</a></li> </ul> </div> <div> <h3 class='h6'>Affiliated Offices</h3> <ul class="list-menu vertical"><li id="menu-item-11623" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11623"><a href="https://scl.cornell.edu/get-involved/career-services">Career Services</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3565" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3565"><a href="https://teaching.cornell.edu/">Center for Teaching Innovation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3566" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3566"><a href="https://elso.as.cornell.edu/">English Language Support Office</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3568" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3568"><a href="https://assembly.cornell.edu/shared-governance-cornell/graduate-and-professional-student-assembly">Graduate and Professional Student Assembly</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3567" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3567"><a href="https://international.globallearning.cornell.edu/">Office of Global Learning</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3564" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3564"><a href="https://postdocs.cornell.edu/">Office of Postdoctoral Studies</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="secondary"> <h2 class="h5">Cornell University Graduate School</h2><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><p>Caldwell Hall<br>Cornell University<br>Ithaca, NY 14853-2602</p> <p>(607) 255-5820 </p> <p><a class="link-block" href="/about/contacts">Contact Us</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sub-footer"> <div class="container-fluid sidebar-left"> <div class="row"> <div class="primary"> <ul class="list-menu"><li id="menu-item-4904" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-4904"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/web-accessibility-and-privacy/">Web Accessibility and Privacy Help</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="secondary"> <p class="copyright"><a href="https://www.cornell.edu">Cornell University</a> © 2024</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <!-- Custom Twitter Feeds JS --> <script type="text/javascript"> window.ctf_custom_js = function(){ var $ = jQuery; var authorBoxLink = $('.ctf-author-box-link'); authorBoxLink.html(authorBoxLink.html().replace('>;', '> ')); }; </script> <script> ( function ( body ) { 'use strict'; body.className = body.className.replace( /\btribe-no-js\b/, 'tribe-js' ); } )( document.body ); </script> <script> /* <![CDATA[ */var tribe_l10n_datatables = {"aria":{"sort_ascending":": activate to sort column ascending","sort_descending":": activate to sort column descending"},"length_menu":"Show _MENU_ entries","empty_table":"No data available in table","info":"Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ entries","info_empty":"Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries","info_filtered":"(filtered from _MAX_ total entries)","zero_records":"No matching records found","search":"Search:","all_selected_text":"All items on this page were selected.
