Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far — we’re officially halfway through our 2025 Cornell Crowdfunding campaign, and your contributions are already making a real impact on our work.

With your help, our team has been able to advance critical components of this year’s tower, including our new friction and viscofluid damping systems, refined structural modeling workflows, and improved shake-table testing procedures. These upgrades directly strengthen our ability to compete at the national Seismic Design Competition and expand hands-on engineering opportunities for students across the team.

If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, there’s still time — and even a small contribution truly moves us forward. Every gift supports materials, competition travel, improved analysis tools, and the education of more than 40 undergraduate engineers who are passionate about earthquake-resistant design.

Please consider joining our supporters and sharing our page with others who may be interested in helping us build this year’s tower. Your support is what makes this project possible, and we’re incredibly grateful for the momentum you’ve helped create so far.

Thank you for being part of Cornell Seismic Design.
