Location: Statler Ballroom, Statler Hotel
Panel discussion moderated by Vice President Ryan Lombardi, Student and Campus Life,
featuring academic and student leadership
A hallmark of the transformative Cornell experience is community-engaged learning, where students go beyond the classroom to see firsthand how theory and practice connect in the real world. Central to the university’s land grant mission, these experiential learning opportunities give students the opportunity to collaborate with communities—in Ithaca and around the globe—to design, implement and evaluate real solutions to real problems. Join Vice-President of Student & Campus Life, Ryan Lombardi, for a moderated panel discussion about the multiple pathways for undergraduates to take advantage of community-engaged learning and research at Cornell.

Basil Safi, Executive Director, David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement
