We have been monitoring the news of the destruction caused by the strong winds, rain, and snow from North Carolina to New England to West Virginia. While many cities and communities are heavily damaged, we hope that you and your families and loved ones are safe and out of harm&rsquo;s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything that any of us at Cornell can do to help.
