How Cornell Commencement Ceremonies look far above Cayuga's waters!
Cornell will hold two Commencement ceremonies for the #Cornell2026 and guests on Saturday, May 23, at Schoellkopf Field. The ceremonies are scheduled for 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Cornellâs 158th graduating class comprises more than 8,000 students, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Of those, a total of approximately 6,000 will participate in person this year, with 3,000 participating in each of the two ceremonies.
Caps off to the Class of 2026! đđ
From bold ideas to real-world impact, youâve pushed boundaries, built whatâs next, and redefined whatâs possible in tech. We canât wait to see where you go from here â congratulations, graduates!
Special thanks to Cornell University President Michael I. Kotlikoff and Cornell Tech Jack and Rilla Neafsey Dean and Vice Provost Greg Morrisett, who delivered inspiring remarks to our amazing grads.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Startup Awards: Aiseptor, Custos, Kindred, and Lola! đ
Learn more about the awards: Link in bio.
Aiseptor is a zero-trust security layer for high-stakes assessments that shifts the industry from probabilistic detection to deterministic prevention, making AI exam fraud fundamentally harder.
Custos enables safe AI agent-driven payments with programmable policies, real-time controls, and full auditability across existing payment rails.
Kindred makes sure products that matter most reach markets faster. Its deterministic reasoning engine turns thousands of pages of regulation into defensible filings, scaling products across borders and verticals.
Lola leverages agentic AI to turn knowledge into consistent judgment, automating decisions at the speed of growth.
CoagHealth and MedComm were selected as runner-ups.
Each team will receive an investment valued at $100,000 in their company, including co-working space in the Tata Innovation Center.

Sometimes you have to build a bridge to find out what it will take to break it! đ¨
Teams of students in our Timber Engineering class (CEE5710) were tasked with designing and building 16-foot bridges, primarily out of two-by-fours, and then putting them to the test.
First members of our Civil and Environmental Engineering community tested out the bridges, judging them on safety and aesthetics, then students watched as 6,000 pounds were loaded onto to the bridges to test how much weight they could withstand before failing. Students made predictions about where their bridge would fail, and examined their broken bridges to learn more how and why these breaks happened.
Only 10 more days until we celebrate #Cornell2026! And today, weâre hopping in the Big Red Time Machine again to check out photos from Cornellâs commencement exercises from days of old.
Spring frost can threaten apple blossoms at their most vulnerable stage.
Researchers like Jason Londo from @CornellAgriTech are researching climate adaptation tools to help growers respond to increasingly erratic spring weather â from resilient cultivars to frost protection strategies.

Whether you need to clear your head before an exam, decompress after a long week, or simply wander somewhere quiet, look no further than the @CornellBotanicGardens . Featuring over 500 acres of gardens and natural areas on the Cornell University campus, itâs free, open every day, and waiting for you.
From choosing a strategy for a cube-gathering robot, to building it as a team, and finally competing in the annual âCube Crazeâ competition, students in this yearâs mechatronics course brought their creativity and energy for an exciting competition! đ¤
