Fall 2023
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Day Hall Takeover- Ithaca
- Nov 16 and Nov 17, 2023 on Zoom and in person.
The Cornell Latino Alumni Association continues celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Day Hall Takeover on November 16th and 17th. Joining with student leaders, CLAA will host two panels with alumni and members of the Ithaca community who participated in this consequential event in 1993. The panels will showcase participants who were both inside and outside Day Hall for the duration of the peaceful protest. The sit-in was a pivotal event in Cornell history, as it brought about greater attention to Latinx students’ needs, drove enhanced support for students on campus and had ripple effects nationwide.
On Thursday, November 16th, students, parents and alumni will be meeting at Cornell University’s Latino Living Center (LLC) to create signs for the next day’s reenactment. On Friday November 17th, from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM EST two panels will be held in Cornell University’s Willard Straight Hall Memorial Room. Following this event, guests can join us at the LLC (10-minute walk) to participate in the annual student-led “Cafe con Leche” and the commemorative rally in front of Day Hall.

There will be a Zoom option for those who cannot be present in person. If you’d like to register for the livestream option, you can do so here.
