In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Cornell Outdoor Education will host a reunion for past and present COE students, facilitators, advisory board members and supporters from July 6 to 9. Dr. Bob Arnot, news anchor of the segment ‘How America Keeps Fit,’ remarked on the University’s unique dedication to outdoor education in 1990 that remains ahead of its time. Even prior to the inception of COE, Cornell held a unique relationship with the natural environment. Under Moriah’s leadership, participation in outdoor education trips became worth academic credit, and education programming grew to include activities such as rock climbing, canoeing and outdoor leadership. “[The Cornell Tree Climbing Institute] is a great example of how COE integrates with academics at Cornell.
