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.
