About President Kotlikoff
It is my great honor to serve as Cornell’s president. After 25 years at Cornell, as a scientist, professor, department chair, dean, provost, and now president, I have a deep respect for the excellence and breadth, the boldness and humility, of this unique university. Each day, I enjoy working with our faculty, students, and staff in advancing our academic excellence and creating and sharing knowledge for the public good.
Our university has a deep-seated culture of collaboration, creativity, and humility — bringing the world-class academic excellence of our departments, schools, and colleges to bear on complex, multidisciplinary challenges.
