Cornell University and Penn Elementary
Each year, on a Saturday in January, Cornell alumni and current Cornell undergraduates gather at Penn Elementary to visit with students (usually 7th and 8th graders) in their school and neighborhood for "Cornell Cares Day." In past years, Cornell volunteers have explored the neighborhood with students, visiting their homes, North Riverside Mall, grocery stories, dry cleaners and other neighborhood establishments in an effort to see the neighborhood through the students' eyes. Volunteers have also used this day to help with projects for Black History Month.
