Jeanne is designing for gold!
We caught her right before she left for Paris and we are thrilled. She was one of the most fun and most interesting people we have ever met. We LOVED HER.
Behind the seams:
Jeanne tells us all about how she became the designer of the STUNNING gymnastics leotards, how her company balances aesthetics, functionality and performance, and how she is prepared for any leotard emergency on site.
Her Cornell story is poetic. But, the class she regrets not taking is questionable. Please weigh in by sending us a DM on Instagram.
Also, she's a black belt.
Go to our Instagram account to see the leotards we designed and ran by her for 2028. Thoughts?
There is so much to Jeanne! You have got to hear this story. And she's a Cornell Human Ecology graduate, just sayin'.

That title is almost a double entendre.
In this episode we discuss the world of sensory-friendly fashion with Julia Deney, the visionary behind a revolutionary clothing line designed specifically for children with sensory issues. Julia shares her journey of creating Sense-sational You (that is a double entendre), that not only addresses the unique needs of these children but also blends style with functionality. She worked for Justice so of course her pieces are trendy and cool.
How did she get here? That's a great story you have to hear. We loved getting to know her!

We've had some pretty exceptional seniors on the podcast right before they graduated. Many of you have asked us, "Whatever happened to..."
So in a new series "Where are they now," we will check back in with some of the students you all loved getting to know on the podcast.
You will remember Zack as the drum major in the Cornell marching band. And you may remember he is the one that introduced us to the idea of foraging for mushrooms.
But can you guess what he's doing now?
You will be impressed. Lots going on.
You can find his original episode #65 anywhere you usually listen to podcasts or with this link: https://cornellthanku.buzzsprout.com/1820290/12191262-drumroll-please-for-cornell-drum-major-zack-kozma

She does stand up but this is no joke.
In this episode, we talk to Flavia Scott, an outstanding Cornell Human Ecology graduate who has left the campus and Ithaca better than she found it.
Flavia’s curiosity and dedication to advancing the science of human thriving shine through as we explore her journey and are frankly floored by how brilliant and deep thinking she is at such a young age.
She experienced the best Cornell had to offer by seizing all of the opportunities presented to her and then killing it. She has won several awards including the 2024 Cornell Human Ecology OUTSTANDING SENIOR AWARD! And it was tough competition!She just gradated in May and plans to apply to medical school while contributing to Weill Cornell’s Global Women’s Research Initiative, addressing the gender gap in global health leadership.
We loved her!

Part recap and part news, we discuss the Cornell Human Ecology award ceremony and absolutely crazy things that went on.
Keywords: Helen Bull Vandervort Award, D-listers and Brenda Bricker
Also, I threatened to tackle Osei Boating, young alum award winner, even though he has saved 6000 lives.
Community is one of my favorite concepts in the world. Steph's too. We are grateful for our friends, family, loyal podcast listeners and everyone at CHE who put on a great event last weekend. We met incredible people and it was a thrill to be there.
I will try to link Lori Isman Green's speech and my speech below because it will make the story we tell much more meaningful. Hope it works!

Noah's dedication to justice advocacy and his involvement in critical human rights issues exemplify the importance of individuals striving to make a positive impact in society.
He's a 2024 Human Ecology graduate and we look forward to following his journey and the contributions he will undoubtedly make to the field of law and human rights.
He's had more involvement with Human Bonding than anyone we know except Professor Cindy Hazan, and we put his knowledge of the courtroom and human interaction to the test in a quiz we created just for him.
Not covered in the podcast:
Noah received the Henry Ricciuti Award for Outstanding Seniors in Human Development, 2024

So…we were blown away by graduating senior Nina.
She’s won awards. She’s had incredible Cornell experiences in other countries. She’s brilliant.
That would be enough for us to highlight her on the podcast.
But when you see and hear what she has created while being a full time CHE Fiber Science & Apparel Design major, you will be struck dumb.
You heard it here first (we think), she is one to watch. Reach out to her on LinkedIn for her autograph asap.

Not your average lax bros.
Meet Riley and Matt, fraternity brothers, club lacrosse teammates and 2024 graduates.
As brilliant as they are charming, Riley and Matt take us through their Cornell experience from starting during Covid to working exceptionally hard until the last day of finals. You'll be inspired by how well they balanced their studies, social life and their time abroad.
Cornell failed them in only one way - they have never heard of Barry Manilow (but they have heard of A Boogie wit da Hoodie?!).
You'll love this story of two incredible seniors as we continue to celebrate graduating students this month on the podcast.
Shout out to Emma Berkowitz - thanks for your help with some of the best parts of this episode.
And does anyone know the name of the Sig Phi wake up song they mentioned in the podcast? (They do not)
