International Spirit of Zinck's Night

Join us at Zinck’s Night, Thursday, October 20!


Lift the chorus, speed it onward,

Loud her praises tell;

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater!

Hail, all hail, Cornell!

 

Members of CAAOC, it is almost time for the biggest night for Cornellians everywhere, Zinck’s Night! Come join us on October 20th as we remember our day’s at Cornell.  Last year, Cornell alumni organized celebrations around the world, and we look forward to seeing what this year brings.

 

Zinck's Night has become much more than a time to trade treasured tales about a cramped bar, a colorful barkeep, and a catchy tune ("We'll all have drinks / At Theodore Zinck's / When I get back next fall!"). It's an occasion dedicated to celebrating Cornell University, no matter where you may be. Come be a part of tradition as we raise our glasses and toast our alma mater! 

 

As usual, friends and family of Cornellians are welcome to join us. Zinck’s Night is always a great time and is usually one of our best turnouts for the year - we hope to see you there!

Come enjoy the company of fellow alumni!
