As a third-year medical student, Stone Streeter cut his teeth during his medical education at Weill Cornell Medicine while living in the institution’s student housing—first at Olin Hall during his classroom instruction, then at Lasdon House for his clerkships. As he eyes his last year at Weill Cornell Medical College, he’s preparing for yet another move: to the Feil Family and Weill Family Residence Hall.

“Now, I’m standing here today, a mosaic of past experiences, ready to tackle the final stages of my medical education,” he said.

Streeter gathered with more than 170 Weill Cornell Medicine leaders, donors, students and alumni May 1 to celebrate the completion of the institution’s new $260 million student residence—and the reveal of its official name.

The Griffis Faculty Club buzzed with excitement as doctoral students from the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences presented their research, drawing peers, faculty and alumni to the 44th annual Vincent du Vigneaud Symposium on April 24. Entirely student run, the all-day symposium showcased more than 120 projects and embodied the intellectual vibrancy of the Weill Cornell community.

“Every year, the symposium gives us a chance to really come together as a school to learn about what Weill Cornell can do as a whole community,” said third-year graduate student Jian Zheng from the Xiaolan Zhao lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who co-chaired the event.
