History
About Brian Earle '68, MPS '71:Brian Earle '68, MPS '71 is an absolute legend with the Cornell community. Local to the Ithaca region, he arrived at Cornell as a student in 1963. He was originally an engineering major but would later transition to business management, and he also earned an M.P.S. in Communication Arts. He was involved with many student organizations, including Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Phi Omega, Cornell Cinema, New York State Methodist Student Movement, Big Red Band, and WVBR. Later in life, he would serve as a senior lecturer in the Department of Communication and Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management, now maintaining a semi-retired presence. Professor Earle also served on a number of committees for Cornell, including serving as co-chair for the CALS Centennial Committee. He may have not been a long-term, traditional engineer for WVBR, but he has certainly engineered a true legacy at Cornell with his brilliant mind and kind heart. In this interview, we talk about the transition from engineering to business, his early days at WVBR, his special connection with students and advisees, and the pride of four generations at Cornell.
