Gather Together for Cornell Thanksgiving

The Cornell Club of Switzerland warmly invites you to our 39th Annual General Meeting and Thanksgiving Celebration on Saturday, 29 November 2025.

This cherished tradition is more than just a dinner. It is a chance to come together as a community, to reconnect with friends old and new, and to share in the warmth of Thanksgiving the Cornell way. Each year, alumni, family, and friends gather to enjoy delicious food, lively conversation, and the unmistakable Big Red spirit that makes our club so special.

This year, we are delighted to host the celebration at the Landhotel Hirschen in Erlinsbach (AG). Surrounded by rustic charm and known for its culinary excellence, the Hirschen offers the perfect setting for a festive evening of gratitude and camaraderie.

Dragons, Bridges, and Apéros: Hiking Through Fribourg
