"The series, now in its 19th year, is open to the public; no registration is needed. The talks will take place at Sage Chapel every other Thursday from Jan. 29 through March 26, from noon to 1 p.m. "Soup & Hope brings the Cornell campus and local community together throughout the dark and cold winter months through shared storytelling and a meal," said Jennifer Austin, director of Cornell Health's Skorton Center for Health Initiatives and longtime Soup & Hope planning committee member. "While each story shared during the series is unique, the universal themes of growth, discovery and meaningful connection reflect the core principles of our Health Promoting Campus.""
"As a Health Promoting Campus , Cornell is committed to hosting programming that helps create and sustain a diverse, welcoming and inclusive campus culture. The series' opening speaker, Michelle Van-Ess Grant, senior associate dean of students and director of the Centers for Student Equity, Empowerment, and Belonging, has spent more than two decades working in student support. Her work is informed by her lived experience as the child of immigrants and her commitment to creating spaces where people, especially those historically marginalized, feel seen and supported."
Soup & Hope returns for its 19th year offering free soup and bread alongside lunchtime storytelling sessions open to the public. Talks occur every other Thursday at Sage Chapel from Jan. 29 through March 26, noon to 1 p.m., with no registration required. The series centers on personal resilience, growth, discovery and meaningful connection to support a Health Promoting Campus. Speakers include students, faculty and staff who share lived experiences, including leadership, loss, identity, and stress-management programming aimed at fostering inclusion and community during the winter months.
