I was the last of 5 siblings who graduated from Cornell. I came back to campus after a 2 year MSW program (well, I finished my last few credits at CU) to be a Residence Program Director on West Campus and I sang once again in the chorus. I eventually was allowed to change the (building community) theme of Sperry Hall to JAM (Just About Music - named by a committee of students). I moved to England for about 8 years. I came back to NYS. Later, my son (BS '14, MEng '15) was in Glee Club for 5 years. He once lived in JAM, still running strong about 25 years later on North Campus. I loved that.
