Pick a projectAt the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), curiosity is our guide. The largest college at Cornell—home to more than 40 departments and programs—A&S is where students participate in and learn to live a vigorous intellectual life. Our diverse and expansive academic community embraces collaboration, active and experiential learning models, and a commitment to research and scholarly excellence. Learning, teaching, and researching at the nexus of discovery and impact is fertile ground for innovation, entrepreneurship, and civic leadership.
Experiential learning is a vital element of a marketable resume. Gifts to the Annual Fund make these opportunities possible for our students.

Message from the dean
“As the heart of the university, the College of Arts and Sciences touches the lives of every Cornellian. The depth and breadth of disciplines at A&S enables us to provide a well-rounded liberal arts education to our students. Unrestricted giving to the annual fund offers me the freedom to innovate and capitalize on critical and timely opportunities for students, increase access to experiential learning opportunities, and recruit the very best faculty in each discipline. Your gifts make it possible for me to say yes to more students and faculty.”
