Why we choose to give
David Edwards ’87 & Valerie Stahl Edwards ’87
"Cornell was important to us. It's where we met, and libraries are a huge part of Val's life," explains Dave. "We're lucky to have the opportunity to name Cornell in our estate planning, knowing it's someplace we can have an impact. This gift will allow future generations of students to advance their education."
