What sort of events/speakers does Cornell host?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm leaning strongly towards Cornell at this point, but my only issue is that it's in the middle of nowhere. Still, when I visited, the guides pointed out that regardless of this, many famous people often come and give speeches or have presentations at the university, because after all, it is Cornell. But the only specific example people would give me was that Jon Stewart came up a few years back, and if that's all that's going on it makes be a bit uneasy about leaving civilization, and makes me wonder if I might not be better off in Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>So I guess my question is, what sort of visitors has the school had recently?</p>

<p>Bill Nye, Bill Cosby, Whoppi Goldberg, the guy who made Supersize Me are a few I can think of who've come to Cornell within the past few years.</p>

<p>The Strokes had a concert there while I visited. Freakin' awesome.</p>

<p>bill Nye Is God!</p>

5

<p>Shimon Perez, Bill Nye, Sri Sri Ravishankar and many more people who are important social and political forces. Thats one of th advantages of being in an Ivy league school. There's some important person giving a talk almost every week or so.</p>
