Soup & Hope
Join us for a virtual season of Soup & Hope
For more than a decade, dozens of Soup & Hope speakers have touched, inspired, motivated, and stirred the hearts of those who gather during the winter months at Sage Chapel. Stories come from a wide range of Cornell staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community members. They reflect diverse personal, cultural, religious, political, and philosophical beliefs and experiences. Each story is shared among friends and colleagues, over bowls of hot soup and bread.
This season, Soup & Hope will continue virtually on Zoom.
- 12:00 Heat up your soup and settle in
- 12:15 Talks begin
- 12:45 Optional community connection via Zoom
Talks are open to Cornell staff, faculty, students, and community members. We invite you to heat up your favorite soup and join us for six more talks from the comfort of your home or office.
