If you’ve ever dreamed of going back to Cornell for “just one more class,” this episode will take you there. Our guest, Corey Ryan Earle ’07—Cornell’s ultimate storyteller and fourth-generation Cornellian—teaches the legendary AMST 2001: The First American University, a one-credit Monday night class with hundreds of students on the waitlist known as “Storytime with Corey.”

Corey shares what makes Cornell’s history so special, from live bears and Slope Day with Kanye, to the origins of “Any Person, Any Study.” He explains why understanding our past deepens community, what would surprise Ezra and A.D. White today, and how his course captures the heart of being a Cornellian.

We also test Corey with a few “vintage” campus stories of our own—plus you'll hear the story behind his prized possession...

This one will make you proud to be a Cornellian.
