You will get a glimpse into the lives of active duty Navy sailors on USS Portland (LPD 27) and have the opportunity to discuss life aboard an active, commissioned warship with those very same sailors. USS Portland is one of the Navy’s newest amphibious warships whose crew is tasked with deploying Marines around the globe. The tour will include an authentic Navy lunch on the mess decks with members of the crew and veterans from the Cornell Club of San Diego.

Following the completion of the ship tour and lunch, you will have the opportunity to tour the Navy’s state-of-the-art simulator training facility for surface navigation. You will have the chance to drive (aka conn) a ship in the simulator on the same system that every Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy trains on to promote safe ship driving at sea while operating around the world!

Register for the event in two steps: (1) buy tickets on this site (below), and (2) complete the registration form (found here).

Did you know?  Theodore Zinck was an Ithaca saloon owner whose pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular hangout for Cornellians in the 1890s. When he died in 1903, a series of bars in and around Collegetown adopted his name. Even though the last bar closed in the 1960s, Cornellians began commemorating the spirit of Zinck's Night by gathering on a Thursday night, once a year.  This tradition of coming together to enjoy camaraderie and refreshments has grown into a gathering for Cornellians everywhere.

The Cornell University Chorus, founded in 1920, is an entirely student-run organization and has gained a reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding treble choirs. Comprising roughly fifty students drawn from every college and many academic majors, the Chorus performs a repertoire spanning eight centuries and over a dozen languages, ranging from masses and motets to spirituals, folksong, world music, jazz, and a variety of other classical and contemporary pieces. Since 2003, the Chorus has made a special point of commissioning new works from women composers, with the goal of expanding the contemporary repertoire for treble voices. In 2020, the Chorus honored its Centennial, a celebration of 100 years of treble choral music at Cornell.

The Chorus will be performing on May 30th at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, San Diego (3502 Clairemont Dr, San Diego, CA 92117). The concert will last from 7 pm until approximately 8 or 8:30 pm. Admission to the concert is free.
