• History of Ezra

Dear Uncle Ezra opened these virtual doors in 1986 to respond to a need for a human interface with the diverse offices and services on campus. Since that time, Cornell students, families, alumni, and many of our global community have shared questions, thoughts, or feelings by asking Uncle Ezra. Uncle Ezra endeavors to select and answer questions that will benefit the senders and that will educate, edify and/or entertain the entire Cornell community. With an ever-expanding Internet audience, it is unfortunately not possible to answer every single query in the overflowing in-box, nor to guarantee instant answers.
