Campus life is full of exciting possibilities (expected and unexpected). With the start of the academic year just around the corner, here's a #TBT from Dr. Kent Bullis, Executive Director of Cornell Health (far right in first photo) and the unexpected way that he met his lifelong college friends. ⠀
⠀
“I paid a visit to the Dean of Students the summer before I started college to appeal the campus residency requirement so I could save some money, live alone and focus on my studies.  The Dean convinced me to live on campus for my first semester, after which I would be allowed to move off campus if I wished. I  chose to live on campus the remaining 4 years, becoming an RA my senior year.  Those 4 years were some of the best of my life. The friendships created by overcoming obstacles together (such as getting a truck stuck in the snow out of a place it was never supposed to be in the first place) have endured the decades since.”⠀
