Vice President for University Relations
Join Glenn and his guests for topical discussions
Glenn C. Altschuler, the Thomas and Dorothy Litwin Professor of American Studies, received his Ph.D. in American history from Cornell in 1976 and joined the university as an administrator and teacher in 1981. He is the Vice President for University Relations and, since 1991, has served as dean of the School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions while continuing to teach and do research. His year-long course in American popular culture is a favorite among Cornell students. Altschuler has been an animating force in the rapidly growing program in American studies and has been a strong advocate on campus for high-quality undergraduate teaching and research.

Dean, College of Veterinary Medicine
Michael Kotlikoff
Michael Kotlikoff, who joined Cornell in 2000, is currently dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. He has chaired the provost's Local Advisory Committee and the Mammalian Genomics Initiative; he has served on the Cornell Genomics and Life Sciences Task Force, the Cornell Institute for Biotechnology and Life Science Technologies Scientific Administrative Board, and the Cornell Neurosciences Steering Committee; and he directed the Cornell Core Transgenic Mouse Facility until taking over as dean in July 2007.
Kotlikoff's laboratory is internationally recognized in the areas of mouse genetics, cardiac and smooth muscle biology, stem cell biology, and cell signaling. He has pioneered efforts to understand complex physiological processes at the molecular level through the use of genetics, molecular design, and advanced optics. Work from his laboratory has provided important insights into heart development, injury, and repair and the molecular basis for abnormal muscle contractility. He continues to run an active NIH-funded laboratory, participate in DVM and undergraduate teaching, and train graduate and postdoctoral students in the laboratory.
