COVID-19 Update: The 2021 program will be held online. We understand that students were hoping to visit the Cornell Ithaca campus. However, conducting the program online is the best option to reduce risk for all involved, be in compliance with current Cornell University visitor rules, and provide a great learning opportunity for students.
