I was a Humec student and took metal shop as an elective. It gave me a huge amount of respect for \"blue collar\" jobs. It was also undoubtedly my favorite class during my time at Cornell and I remember spending many hours I probably should have spent studying for other courses perfecting my filet welds. My projects from the class are still on my desk today. Do not deprive future students of this opportunity. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig5016969 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. He has the most integrity of anyone I have ever met and was one of the best teachers I ever had. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4472317 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4442784 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I was really surprised to find that I could take a course like Prof. Cook's in college, and at a University that I only thought would be progressive in terms of cutting edge research. Prof. Cook's Wood Construction class was one of the best I ever took in my time at Cornell, and I learned so much more than just how to use a band saw. He made me work harder to earn my grade (but more importantly to take pride in my work)than many of my other classes. Mr. Cook is the kind of teacher that inspires students, knows his stuff, and is one of those mentors I will remember for the rest of my life. One of the best things about Cornell is that it has managed to create such an incredible gathering of minds working on fascinating projects that fit into no other category than "Any person, .. . any study". That is Cornell's vision, and classes like Prof. Cook's are exactly how the University community truly has opportunities wherever their interest or passion may lie. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4424562 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. Cornell is headed in the wrong direction. Instead of increasing the connection between abstract engineering and scientific work, this is a step to further separate the two. When our world has problems calling for hands-on skills and solutions, whether thats renewable energy systems, sustainable agriculture, loacl/regional manufacturing, etc, hands on wood and metal working, construction, and electrical/plumbing skills are more important than ever! Change your mind Cornell and bring these classes back. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4413644 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. To cancel classes so that there can be more additional storage is just ridiculous. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4409536 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4400702 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. Many of our students in DEA who are interested in developing a deeper haptic understanding of materials and products are encouraged to take these classes. These courses are important part of a complete design education. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4392447 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4385307 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4383282 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4367731 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. It makes me ill to hear that Cornell University wants to terminate these wonderful courses. While new projects are good to see, I think fundamental "hands on" courses such as these should be preserved in the spirit of a fundamentally agriculturally-rooted institution. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4366113 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. Shame on the Admins who are intent on destroying practical (hands on) teaching and learning at Cornell. Remember your founders' vision. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4355487 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4355445 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4342920 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. Please do not cancel this program. This would be a huge mistake by Cornell. DS CALS 1999 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4339703 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I stand by every word of this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4337983 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4333608 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST This is far and above one of the most useful courses I have taken at Cornell. To discontinue it now will be a huge disservice to the entire CU student population. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savetheshop/#sig4330352 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition.
