Biographical / Historical

Redbud Cooperative in Von Cramm Hall is one of the Cornell University's cooperative residences, a collaborative and independent community governed by its student residents. It is located at 623 University Avenue on West Campus

Founded in 1956, Von Cramm is the largest cooperative house on campus. The recent addition of "Redbud" to the name commemorates the wooded area that used to be behind the building. Residents are a mixture of undergraduate and graduate students, and many are international or exchange students. Officers are elected by members, and regular house meetings are held where members vote on house policies, on how to run and maintain the house, and on how to manage the community’s budget. Each resident shares responsibility for cooking, cleaning, and house maintenance.
