DRYDEN, N.Y. — Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) and Cornell University on Thursday signed a new articulation agreement that provides TC3 graduates a direct-transfer path to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at nearby Cornell.
Amy Kremenek, president of Tompkins Cortland Community College, and Benjamin Houlton, dean of Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, participated in the signing ceremony.
“There is a strong legacy of collaboration between TC3 and Cornell. We know that Cornell is the dream for many of our students, and this agreement formalizes what we have always known to be true: that dream can be reality,” Kremenek said in the TC3 announcement. “This creates a clear, achievable pathway for students to start strong at TC3 and earn a degree from an Ivy League university. I applaud the efforts of TC3’s faculty and am grateful to our colleagues at Cornell for creating this tremendous opportunity for our students.”
