The Center for Teaching Innovation (CTI) has selected doctoral students Giulia Andreoni and Vasilis Charisopoulos as recipients of the 2020-2021 Cornelia Ye Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award.
“Their commitment to mentoring and guiding their students beyond the classroom and engaging their students with the Cornell community to enhance learning is what stood out to the committee,” said Kim Kenyon, an associate director at the CTI and chair of the award selection committee.
Andreoni, from Rome, Italy, will receive her Ph.D. in Romance studies in the College of Arts and Sciences in May 2021. She has been a teaching assistant for a range of Italian courses at Cornell and instructor of record for several first-year writing seminars as well as the Languages Across the Curriculum program.

Cornell researchers found no evidence of students transmitting COVID-19 to employees or the broader community during the fall semester, but students who traveled were eight times more likely to test positive within two weeks of their return, according to a new report that is helping the university shape its ongoing pandemic response.
The Cornell epidemiological modeling team, led by Peter Frazier, associate professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering in the College of Engineering, has updated their mathematical model to reflect data from the fall semester about student and employee COVID-19 cases, as well as the rising prevalence of the coronavirus in the Southern Tier and across the country, and the evolution of faster-spreading virus variants.

As the spring semester begins, a team of engineering students and faculty has finished tweaking the master schedule, using lessons they learned last fall during their heroic effort to help Cornell have safe, in-person classes.
University leaders faced a critical question in April 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic surged and they contemplated an in-person fall semester: Would it even be possible?
