UN FAO visit highlights importance of agrifood system transformation

Julie Suarez, associate dean of Land-Grant affairs walks with Qu Dongyu, director-general of the UN FAO, Xingen Lei, associate dean of research and innovation and UN FAO team members.

  • Cornell AgriTech
  • Food Science
  • Department of Global Development
  • School of Integrative Plant Science

QU Dongyu, the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), visited Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences May 7-8 to talk with faculty, staff and graduate students about efforts to build sustainable and resilient food systems worldwide.

“I was inspired by my visit to Cornell,” said QU, who with other FAO representatives toured the college’s campuses in Ithaca and Geneva, New York. “CALS is a leading example of how integrated research and science can bolster food security and agrifood systems transformation efforts.”

“It was an honor to welcome Director-General QU and members of his team,” said Benjamin Houlton, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean. “CALS and FAO have had a long and fruitful partnership, and our shared vision of bolstering science-based solutions for our world’s agrifood systems presents tremendous opportunities to work together to solve some of the greatest challenges facing global food production.”

QU met with faculty from the CALS Department of Global Development. Photo provided by the UN FAO.

QU engaged with faculty on the Ithaca campus from the Departments of Global Development, Animal Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Food Science; the School of Integrative Plant Science; and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program on how CALS is striving to impact communities and create a more equitable, sustainable and food-secure world. Highlights included discussion on the role of Land-Grant institutions, innovation to improve crop performance, working toward a bio-nutrient economy, forest carbon sequestration, improving food product nutrition, reducing methane from livestock animals and using integrated pest management in crops.

At Cornell AgriTech QU met with faculty engaged in research for specialty crop breeding, and pest and disease management. He explored the diversity of apple trees in the USDA-ARS germplasm repository, an invaluable resource to breeders worldwide, and also learned about the campus’s apple breeding program, the oldest in the U.S.

Innovation for producers in the 21st century was a central theme during the AgriTech tour, and faculty demonstrated how autonomous robots, AI and other digital technologies can efficiently and precisely manage crop health.

“The exciting work taking place at Cornell AgriTech has impactful potential, not just for New York but globally,” said QU. “Through their cutting-edge agricultural science, research and development, they are leading the way with innovative solutions.”

Director-General Qu met with graduate students while visiting Cornell AgriTech.

A roundtable discussion with Ph.D. students concluded his visit to Cornell AgriTech. QU, a plant geneticist, described his scienced-based path to the role of the Director-General of FAO and encouraged students to make an impact on the world.

“If you want to make difference in lives, agricultural and food science is one of the best ways to it,” he said, adding, “You can make a difference too as scientists: Be diligent, dedicated, curious and open-minded, and you will become changemakers.”

Microsoft 365 Email for Students

Explore reasons to choose Gmail through Google Workspace or Outlook through Microsoft 365 for your email at Cornell.

This article applies to: Cornell Google Workspace for Students , Microsoft Outlook

All incoming Cornell students are set up by default with Gmail through a Cornell Google Workspace for Education account. You also have the option to use Outlook through Microsoft 365  for your Cornell email needs instead.

You might want to consider Microsoft email if:

  • You want to use the same service that Cornell faculty and staff use for email and calendaring.
  • You do a lot of work in other Cornell Microsoft services like Teams , Planner , or SharePoint , or collaborate in documents or files in Word Online, Excel Online, or PowerPoint Online and want your email in the same Microsoft ecosystem.
  • You use Microsoft OneDrive for your online storage and would like easy access to the files for email attachments.

You have the option to look at Outlook before deciding which system to choose. Log in to Outlook on the web to explore what it offers. If you decide that's the system for you, then  change your forwarding with these instructions .

When you go to Outlook on the web you will see a notice at the top right similar to this:

An alert box showing forwarding, with an X to close the box or text to stop forwarding.

Use the X to close the dialog box.

Clicking "Turn off" will stop your email forwarding completely and then you won't get any email in Google Workspace. If you decide to use Outlook for your email needs, you will deal with this alert box when you change your forwarding .

Transitioning from one email service to another can have some confusing points, so you'll want to decide whether the change from Gmail to Outlook is worth the effort, and plan out how you would make the switch.

By default all Cornell email first arrives to Outlook and is forwarded to Gmail. A copy of the email stays in Outlook. If you decide to switch to Outlook you will see all of the email you've received since starting at Cornell sitting in your Outlook inbox unread. The Outlook and Gmail accounts are separate, so any organization from Gmail will not exist in Outlook. You will have to re-create folders and filters, and you will not have a copy of any outgoing emails that you have sent from your Gmail account.

UNH Parents Guide to College Campus Tours

Helping your student apply to college and decide where to go to college  can involve complicated choices and high stakes. Our  Parents Guide blog series  is here to  help you guide your student to make the right decisions throughout the college application and decision processes .

The college search is becoming real for you and your family. Your student has made a list of their top schools to visit, and you’re ready to schedule campus tours and information sessions. How can you support your student during these visits and make the most of your time visiting colleges? Read on for our top tips for touring college campuses.

Prospective students and their families taking a guided tour of UNH

Let your student take the lead

We get it. You have lots of questions to ask and concerns about where your student will live and what they’ll eat. However, this tour is the beginning of your student’s independence in college. Feel free to ask your own questions, but let your student take the lead in exploring the areas of campus they are most interested in and interacting with the tour guide and other prospective students .

Exploring the UNH campus

Exploring the UNH campus

Prioritize what you see

College tours can be overwhelming and it’s unlikely you’ll see the entire campus during your visit, so beforehand,  sit down with your student and compile a list of the places they most want to see on campus. Then, plan your visit accordingly. For example, if they are most interested in learning more about their prospective major and are interested to see where they will eat, see if you can schedule an academic information session and plan to eat at the dining hall after your tour.

Plan your questions

You’ll spend the day absorbing a lot, so it may be helpful to write out a list of questions ahead of time. Sit down with your student and think about what you want to ask. If a current student will lead your tour, ask your student to think of questions they have about future college life or advice they would like for transitioning to college.

Keep exploring after the tour

If you have time after the tour, ask the admissions office what else they recommend you see or pick up a campus map. You may want to head to the campus bookstore to grab some swag, try a meal in the dining hall or explore the shops and restaurants in the college downtown. This will help you and your student get an authentic feel for what the campus is like.

Abstract: Learn how one institution leveraged Slate functionality to build an effective HEOP review process. In 2022, Ithaca College revitalized the HEOP process in Slate by creating an in-house financial questionnaire, a custom student checklist, an HEOP specific application workflow, interview and event registration, and a communications plan for students and school counselors. Each year since has improved the complex and high-stakes HEOP admission process. Learn how we worked together to problem-solve, adapted to the current year’s FAFSA challenges, and navigated protecting student information.
