We are your connection to ILR. The Office of Alumni Affairs and Development provides ongoing opportunities for you — alumni, parents, and friends — to enrich your lives and join us as partners. In return, we ask for your interest, your time, and your support. Your intellectual and financial resources are critical to ILR's mission of teaching, research, and outreach.
Alumni
Alumni Reunion gathering at the Cornell Plantations, June 11, 2005.
Alumni, Parents, and Friends
The Alumni Affairs office is your source for information about and involvement with ILR. We host events for alumni to meet and network. We bring together alumni, faculty, practitioners, and current students to talk about teaching, research, and workplace practices. We share news about the school to keep our friends fully informed. We do all this to build support for ILR, its faculty, students, and programs, and to raise awareness about ILR initiatives. The continuing vigor of the school and its outstanding reputation are dependent upon our relationship with you.
ILR Alumni Communications
Staying in touch with alumni is a top priority. ILR Connections and Class Notes are just two ways we spread the word.
Alumni Events
Everyone loves a party, but ILR events are much more than parties. A variety of on- and off-campus events help ILR nurture and celebrate its connection to you.
Thank you for supporting ILR
Your gifts are vital to the continued excellent quality of ILR's teaching, research, and outreach. Please contact us about offering your support.

We invite you to listen to his remarks (mp3) on the importance of Alumni from a recent interview.
