What Our Students Say
My Cornell experience has had a lot of major effects on me, both personally and professionally. One of the most important of these effects is that it has allowed me to become a part of an incredibly diverse and intelligent community of people who share my interests and passions. This has allowed me to learn more than I ever could have from classes alone and to continuously see things from unique perspectives.
