What is a new student event?
A new student event is an informal get-together welcoming first-year and transfer students into the Cornell community of students, alumni and families. This year, these events will take place either virtually or in-person (based on in-person localize protocol). They range in size and content. Regardless of the format – structured or informal – these events create great opportunities for new students to socialize with each other and to meet alumni and current students.
