'PhDivas' discourse across disciplines and differences
As friends and scholars, doctoral students Elizabeth (Liz) Wayne and Christine (Xine) Yao found common ground amid their academic and cultural differences through a mutual fascination with myriad topics, from pop culture to how to survive in academia. And now, they discuss them for a worldwide audience every week.
The African-American cancer scientist from Mississippi and the Chinese-Canadian literary critic/English scholar from Toronto first met when they were graduate resident fellows together at Hans Bethe House. Talking and laughing together during house dinners, they were soon joined by a gaggle of interested undergraduates.
Last spring, they were inspired to make the discourse public and launched a podcast that has found listeners in six countries.
On âPhDivas,â they share issues of academic life, contemporary culture and society in conversations that bridge the STEM-humanities divide. They often discuss the âsimilarities, differences and difficultiesâ they observe in their experiences, including challenges facing women and young scholars.
Cornell Splash! holds day of learning for local youth
More than 180 middle school and high school students gathered at Cornell on Saturday, October 24 to attend classes taught by the universityâs undergraduate and graduate students for Splash! at Cornell.
Splash! at Cornell invites youth to the Ithaca campus to learn about virtually any field, from the social sciences and arts/humanities, to engineering, math, computer science and the physical/biological sciences. This year, over 40 undergraduate and graduate students taught 74 class sections, on topics ranging from Video Game Music and Rocket Science to the Psychology of Love, the Amazing Human Language, and the History, Biology, and Politics of Wild Tigers.
Will Gluck, Director of Easy A and Annie, shares career advice
Will Gluck â93, writer and director of the reimagined âAnnieâ movie, as well as âEasy Aâ and âFired Up,â visited campus Oct. 16 to share career advice with students as this yearâs Munschauer Career Series Speaker for the College of Arts and Sciences Career Development Center.
Gluck, who is based in Los Angeles, spoke to students about the challenges and rewards of working in the entertainment industry.
He encouraged students to run as fast as they can toward their career goals during and after college. He gave an example of two jobs: one a dream job that pays less and the other a job that pays twice as much, but does not have all the interesting aspects that the dream job holds. Many would go for the job that pays more and try for the dream job at another time, but 10 years later, Gluck said, they find themselves stuck in the same boring position.
Gluck encouraged students to choose the more interesting job, even if it pays less, and be willing to take lower-level jobs first, such as personal assistant, which can open the door for success in many job fields, but especially in the entertainment industry.
Alum manages marketing campaigns at MTV
In the last few years, Jaz Nsubuga â11 has become an expert on the following:
Menâs shaving habits,
Digital and social marketing campaign strategies,
Womenâs facial cleaning products,
Credit card habits of wealthy people, and
Coca Cola, among other things.
As manager of integrated marketing at MTV, Nsubuga knows that the best way to market a company or product is to understand it inside-out. And, as a history and Africana Studies major, thatâs the part of her job she loves the most â the research.
Nsubuga was on campus in mid-September for a Career Conversations event with the College of Arts & Sciences Career Development Center, sharing her strategies for networking and career success with students.
Nsubuga is still riding the waves from her latest success, a Coca-Cola campaign she created for MTVâs Fandom Awards and Fest in July that generated buzz with a Tumblr social media effort that brought in 28 million votes. She also designed campaigns for Apple and American Legacy that aired during MTVâs Video Music Awards in August.
She joined MTV in January of this year, after starting out in account management at Grey Advertising and at Digitas and then working with the menâs grooming division of Birchbox.
âI become our team historian,â Nsubuga said of the role sheâs played at her various companies. âI always want to know the brand a little better than the clients do.â

Research fund lets undergraduates gain ecological field experience.
Grad student Rachel Abbott and undergrads Andy Wong â17 and Diamond Oden â17 have become experts in identifying various creatures of the Adirondacks â the calanoid copepods that theyâre studying, as well as myriad others that were biting them as they spent hours taking water samples in canoes.
âItâs very easy to get grumpy up there,â said Abbott, a doctoral student in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB). âItâs buggy, hot and often raining and sometimes we were in the car a long time, taking trips 20 miles down a dirt road. But they didnât complain a bit.â
Well, not a whole lot anyway. (Wong did say the days were long, the insects âviciousâ and the weather âoften uncooperative.â)
The three were in the Adirondacks for two weeks this summer studying a common and a rare zooplankton species to determine what characteristics of a lake are important in supporting both species and if common species are restricted to certain types of lakes or if they are habitat generalists that can live in many different environments.
Wongâs field experience was supported by the Elizabeth (âBettyâ) Miller Francis â47 fund in EEB, which pays for graduate fellowships and supports undergraduate fieldwork. Francis had strong interests in education, ecology and the environment, as well as a broad worldview attained through a lifetime of travel.
âThey were instrumental in making sure our field gear was properly cleaned,â Abbott said of Wong and Oden, âwhich is very important since you can transmit disease and invasive organisms among lakes, and can contaminate your own samples with improperly cleaned gear. They also helped in carrying the canoe and the gear, since Iâm pregnant and canât do a lot of lifting.â
Arts & Sciences senior fondly remembers her time at Cornell
Rising senior and Chemistry major, Leah Dewitt, is featured in this piece where she looks back at her time in Ithaca:
âFor the past four years, I've called Ithaca "home," knowing that one day I'd have to leave. As that day approaches, I'm sad to leave, but thankful for all this town has been for me.â
âIthaca is doctors and shop owners and professors and clergy and my neighbor's children. Ithaca saw me when I was immobilized from a back injury. Ithaca counseled me in my plans after graduation.â
âWhen my parents couldn't be around, Ithaca was there for me. I'm eternally grateful to the professors, friends, and mentors who have guided me while I've been in Ithaca.â
Cornell Students: Â History Open House is today!
Please join us at the History Department Open House today, April 29, from 4:30-6pm in 145 McGraw Hall.
 There will be a panel of honors students talking about the thesis process, Professors on hand to speak about their Fall 2015 classes, and a celebration of the release of the 2015 edition of Ezra's Archives, Cornell Historical Society's publication of undergraduate research! If you're interested in the History major or minor, or are already active in the History community at Cornell, this event is for you. We hope to see you there!
The 2015 edition of Ezra's Archives is Cornell Historical Society's publication of undergraduate research! This year's journal includes five articles of primary source-based research, a note from Ezra's Archives' founders in honor of the journal's five year anniversary, and a historical perspective by Corey Ryan Earle '07 in honor of Cornell's Sesquicentennial.  Ezra's Archives is the result of the hard work of the CHSâs 25 undergraduate editors, and they would love to share it with you.
