We've been reflecting on our history - the people and programs making the BCTR into what it is today.
We're leveraging over 50 years of our past to shape our future, with an eye toward research that provides a positive impact for our communities.

We were proud to hold a Head Start & Early Education Summit at @cornelltech.bsky.social on Sept. 6. It was an important conversation on early childhood education programs and a nod to the legacy of our center's namesake, Urie Bronfenbrenner, who was instrumental in creating the Head Start program.

Our undergraduate students are amazing. These students have been working on translational research with faculty and they got to present their work during the BTCR Poster Symposium. We had nearly 120 people stop by and see nearly 50 incredible research projects.

We learned so much from Angela Odoms-Young about how the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program has been improving the lives of New York City residents for more than 55 years. Have you registered for the February 13 Talks at Twelve discussing Alzheimer's? bctr.cornell.edu/event/findin...

This week, Cornell Human Ecology unveiled its Trailblazer Poster Series. Urie Bronfenbrenner is one of the trailblazers honored with a poster in the MVR hallway, outside the center that bears his name. A big thank you to Urie's daughter, Kate, for stopping by to see the poster.
