Voting for Week 2 of the 'Iconic Cornell Traditions' March Madness bracket is now available. Still a little stunned that Touchdown the Bear didn't make it past the first round... Go vote! alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/ic…

Using a calculation based on Billboard Hot 100 hits prior to Slope Day appearance, this year's Slope Day lineup has the 3rd most star power (behind Nelly in 2011 and Ludacris in 2014). With 2023's lineup ranked last, it's the biggest jump in star power from one year to the next.

Remember last year's Cornell-themed March Madness bracket? Well, we're doing it again! This time for iconic Cornell traditions. Weekly voting will be through the Cornellians website at the link below. Go vote on the first match-ups.
