"We have a focus here, and we hope to draw you into the focus and bring your strength and spirit and heart along, to develop a caring community everywhere that there is the name Cornell.
"When we're aware of someone else who is in distress—physical, emotional, spiritual —and we demonstrate compassion to them, we are growing in the most important way. When we adhere to the highest standards of academic integrity, we manifest our character and recognize that our choices have consequences for others as well as ourselves. And when our social behavior is consistent with the standards of the community and free from coercion and open to choice, we demonstrate respect for the rights of others.
"I urge you, as you move through the wonderful and tremendous life experience that is Cornell, to think about the person next to you, the person across the hall, the person in your class and to help us build an even more caring community."
