'All Things Equal', the award-winning radio show, continues in 2017 with two additional sponsors: Community Foundation and Ithaca College.

All Things Equal is a weekly radio show that is co-produced by Cornell University and the Cayuga Radio Group. The show features in-depth conversations on race, class, diversity, sustainability, and other important issues.

2017 represents the 10th year of the weekly radio segment heard Tuesday mornings on WHCU Radio (870AM, 95.9FM, online at whcuradio.com) as well as being recorded for podcast. In 2016, All Things Equal received the "Spirit of New York" award from the New York State Broadcasters Association.

"Community Foundation is proud to support a variety of ways for communities to explore issues of social justice and equity. All Things Equal is a proven and invaluable tool for engaging conversations which lead to actions that build more just and caring lives for everyone." said George Ferrari, CEO, Community Foundation.

About their sponsorship, Ithaca College President Tom Rochon said, "Ithaca College is proud to support a local radio show that focuses on a broad array of issues impacting our local and global communities. The collaborative approach and the community centered focus create an informative show that is a wonderful asset to the Ithaca community."

"We are grateful that All Things Equal continues to be a valued conversation in our community. This includes some recent shows we did with Muslim friends and neighbors," said Cornell Associate Vice President of Community Relations Gary Stewart, who hosts the weekly segments.

Previously recognized by the SUNY Council for University Advancement for outstanding interactive media, All Things Equal has been a steady resource for everyone of every background in Tompkins County, and has provided an opportunity for measured, 15-minute conversations on sensitive issues that aren't condensed into soundbites that can divide or dumb down, but rather nurture and forward.

The show sponsors include: Cornell University, The Cayuga Medical Center, Wegmans, The Cayuga Radio Group, Ithaca College, The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, and Community Foundation.
