The council advises the president and congress on decisions and policies that promote the preservation and enhancement of national historic resources. Bronin officially joined the Cornell faculty today, July 1, as an associate member of the Law School faculty and as a professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning @cornellaap. As a professor, policymaker, and pending council chair, she continues a career devoted to creating and preserving sites significant to U.S. heritage and shaping policies that Bronin hopes will encompass “all aspects of the American story.” Read the full story in the link in our bio. #cornelllawschool #wearecornelllaw We are pleased to announce that Jens David Ohlin has been named the Allan R.
