Help Us Set the Table
Cornell Supper Club began with a simple conviction: the dinner table is one of the best technologies we have for connection. A well-made meal gives people permission to move past small talk and into the conversations that actually matter.
Our student-led culinary and hospitality program brings together two of Cornell’s greatest strengths: the ideas, people, and ingredients that come from this university, and the hospitality of students training to become leaders in the industry. Our student chefs develop each menu through weeks of R&D, testing, and collaboration, while every element of the experience—from hand-delivered invitations and thoughtful guest pairings to abundant tablescapes and personalized service—is designed to make guests feel genuinely known, cared for, and connected.
Help Us Set the Table is our campaign to give Cornell Supper Club the operating support needed to bring these dinners to life and keep them accessible to the Cornell community. Every contribution helps fund the ingredients, equipment, service pieces, and countless details that allow our students to create restaurant-level experiences at Llenroc.
Become an Alumni Ambassador
Every donor, at any level, is invited to become a Cornell Supper Club Alumni Ambassador—helping carry the community we build around the table beyond a single gift.
Ambassadors are invited to join us at a dinner at Llenroc, meet the students building Supper Club, connect with fellow alumni, and share their own work and experiences with our members. It is the same exchange we hope to create at every Supper Club table: someone with a story worth hearing, and a room genuinely interested in hearing it.
By helping us set the table, our Ambassadors do more than fund a dinner. They help create a place where Cornell students, faculty, alumni, and guests can slow down, learn from one another, build meaningful relationships, and leave with the kind of evening they remember years later.
