SUMMARY:The Meaning of Extension: Cornell's Work in New York City
DESCRIPTION:Part of the BCTR’s Talks at Twelve series. \nWhat does it mean to extend a university into the largest\, most complex city in the country? \nCornell University Cooperative Extension—New York City (CUCE-NYC) has been answering that question for more than 60 years. Working across all five boroughs\, CUCE-NYC translates Cornell’s research into practical programs that reach more than 30\,000 New Yorkers each year—in nutrition and health\, family and youth development\, and STEM and urban agriculture. \nIn this talk\, Jenny Weil Malatras ‘02\, executive director of CUCE-NYC and board-certified clinical psychologist\, will explore what the land-grant mission looks like on the ground in New York City today — through the stories of the educators and young people doing the work\, and through an honest look at the challenges facing the organization. She will also reflect on the strategic questions facing CUCE-NYC — including how to scale impact in a city of 8 million\, what it means to truly put Cornell’s research in service of New York City’s communities\, and how faculty\, students\, and community partners might be part of that work. \nMalatras is the executive director of CUCE-NYC and since June 2025\, she has led all of Cornell’s extension efforts around nutrition\, youth development\, and family engagement in all five boroughs of the city.

SUMMARY:BCTR 15th Anniversary Celebration and Research Talk with Karl Pillemer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 15th Anniversary Celebration and engaging talk with Karl Pillemer\, Hazel E. Reed Human Development Professor in the College of Human Ecology\, Professor of Gerontology in Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine\, and founding director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging. Karl also directs the Cornell Legacy Project and is author of the book “30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans.” \nPillemer’s talk will focus on “Climate Change in an Aging World.” As our world grapples with the accelerating consequences of climate change\, one of the most urgent and overlooked stories is how this crisis is hitting older adults hardest. This lecture shines a light on the striking vulnerability of older people to extreme heat and climate-related disasters\, a population whose unique needs have been largely ignored in emergency planning. But the picture isn’t all bleak: older adults are also a powerful and underutilized force for solutions\, and this talk makes the case for why they should be at the center\, not the margins\, of our environmental response. Whether you work with older populations or simply care about building a more resilient society\, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives and concrete strategies for engaging older adults in the fight against climate change. \nFollowing the talk with Dr. Pillemer\, stay for refreshments and celebrate the BCTR’s 15th anniversary. You will have the opportunity to meet center faculty and staff who are bringing Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s work to life. Plus\, you’ll have a chance to share your memories of Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner\, your time at the College of Human Ecology\, or your work with the BCTR — all to be preserved and celebrated as part of our 15th anniversary. Tell us about meeting with Urie or taking his class\, your experiences working in the BCTR\, and the impact that your work and the center have made. \nThis event is part of reunion weekend and in-person only.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker: Adam Gamoran\, president of the William T. Grant Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation from Adam Gamoran\, president of the William T. Grant Foundation. He will be speaking about why “The Future of Higher Education is Still Social Impact.” \nThe last decade has witnessed increasing skepticism about the value of universities. Many strategies exist to respond to this challenge\, but one that has not received enough attention is fostering social impact research through community-engaged scholarship\, which addresses real problems in the everyday lives of community members. Recent experiences demonstrate that incentives to social impact research are viable and that barriers can be surpassed. By fostering trust and mutuality\, social impact research carried out in community partnerships can overcome the perils of polarization which are so prominent today. \nAdam Gamoran leads William T. Grant Foundation\, a charitable organization that supports research to improve the lives of young people.  Two priorities guide the Foundation’s grantmaking: identifying ways to reduce inequality in youth outcomes\, and improving the use of research evidence in decisions about policy and practice that affect young people. Previously\, he held the John D. MacArthur Chair in Sociology and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he spent three decades engaged in research on educational inequality and school reform. \nHis research contributions have been honored by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management\, the American Educational Research Association\, and the Sociology of Education Section of the American Sociological Association. \nThis in-person presentation is open to all and serves as the keynote address for the BCTR’s Cornell Translational Research Summer Institute.
