Membership Dues are now open for 2025/26
Join or Renew Today!
Dear Cornell Club of Switzerland Community,
The Board of the Cornell Club of Switzerland extends a heartfelt Thank You to all who have supported the Club through their membership. Your contributions have enabled us to host enriching programs, publish engaging newsletters, and launch and maintain our new website — all of which help connect and strengthen our vibrant Cornell community in Switzerland.
As we approach the new fiscal year, which begins 1 July 2025 and runs through 30 June 2026, we hope you will continue to be part of the journey.
For the first time in over a decade, we are adjusting our annual membership dues. At the Annual General Meeting held during our Thanksgiving Gala on 30 November 2024, our members approved a dues increase, bringing the annual fee to CHF 60.-. This change reflects the rising costs associated with running the Club — particularly maintaining our website — and aligns us with similar alumni clubs in Switzerland. As always, all funds collected are solely dedicated to our Club's overhead and programs. Our volunteer Board Members dedicate their time without any compensation.
We are confident that this modest increase will help us continue offering high-quality events and communication tools that keep you connected with Cornell and fellow alumni.
Membership for the 2025–2026 fiscal year is now open! You can register or renew your membership dues directly on our website.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support. Together, we make the Cornell Club of Switzerland a place where Big Red spirit thrives.
Warm regards,
Dr. Christophe Zimmerli, LL.M. 2000
President, Cornell Club of Switzerland
Lhney Steiner, B.S. 1996, MBA 2006
Membership Officer & Website Lead, Cornell Club of Switzerland
