The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse (2015).

Join Ruth Merle-Doyle, Cornell Work/Life Program Manager, for a conversation about child care.
Ruth is eager to hear your stories of managing care of children with a career and we will share what current families, in particular working mothers (parents), face when it comes to living in the” child care desert” that is Ithaca. Ruth will share how the pandemic has changed the child care landscape in the Ithaca area, as well as how Cornell is supporting its working families to find child care. What you can do to support our next generation of families.
