Active Citizens help the Bethe leadership team reach the primary goal of the West Campus House System at Cornell University: the creation of an environment that closely links the residential life of students to the intellectual mission of the university. To achieve this goal, Bethe House emphasizes informal interaction with faculty and staff members from across the University, self-governance, and social and cultural programming. In these ways, Bethe House builds an actively engaged community of upper-class students – one that fosters personal discovery and growth, encourages civic engagement, and nurtures scholarship and creativity in an environment of collegiality, civility, and responsible stewardship. For all these reasons, Bethe House has a vested interest in celebrating and retaining those who are currently active house members. 

 

Q16
Please respond to the following questions in a .doc, save as a pdf, then upload the ONE PAGE PDF.
Name your pdf as follows "LASTNAMEfirstnameACessays.pdf" (ex. POLLACKmarthaACessays.pdf)


Your response must be limited to one page total (not one page per question), single-spaced, 12 pt. font, with 1” borders. The committee will not read beyond page one. Please include your full name and NetID to the top of your essay.


1.  In what ways have you contributed to Bethe House’s success in achieving the goal stated above? Please note that your answer can include both formal participation in organized house events and community leadership (e.g., House Council), as well as informal roles within our community that you feel were important in helping to achieve the goals of the House System. We also recognize and value the many other communities you engage with at Cornell and within the Ithaca area. What are some of the ways you now (or in the future could) further the above stated goal of the House System as a member of the larger Cornell and/or Ithaca community?  How could you imagine bringing this outside involvement to Bethe House?


2.  If chosen as a Bethe House Active Citizen, how do you anticipate being involved in the House next semester/year? Providing a specific action plan is highly encouraged. Please refer to the Active Citizens Overview document to review expectations.

 

Q17 3.  Please include a photo of a location in or around Bethe House that is meaningful to you with a brief caption.
