Four Cornell-funded projects are expanding efforts to preserve and highlight the Gayogohó:nǫˀ (Cayuga Nation) language and culture, in western New York and throughout the country.
Prof. John Cawley, policy analysis and management, is now the next director of the Cornell in Washington program. As he takes the reins of the 41-year-old program, he hopes to take it a step further, improving outreach and working toward increased participation.
Cawley is an economist whose research focuses on health economics and policy. He has conducted studies observing the effects of taxes on sugar-sweetened drinks, calorie labels on restaurant menus, the state expansion of Medicaid and physical education requirements in schools.
This research has allowed Cawley to collaborate with government agencies and co-author papers with researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health. He has also served on committees such as the Institute of Medicine and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Circularity, Reuse, and Zero Waste Development (CR0WD) is a newly formed collaboration that brings projects and research from AAP faculty-led labs together with experts across both the campus and the City of Ithaca to address sustainable development practices. At AAP, The Circular Construction Lab, led by Assistant Professor Felix Heisel, architecture, and the Just Places Lab, led by Associate Professor Jennifer Minner, CRP, are central to the research and organization of the task force. Heisel and Minner helped to form CR0WD in partnership with the Susan Christopherson Center for Community Planning directed by alumna Gretchen Worth (M.A. HPP 20); Historic Ithaca led by Susan Holland 85; municipal leaders, and local and regional stakeholders concerned with reuse, architectural salvage, preservation, and planning.
