Domestic U.S. events | International events
Each summer, Cornell alumni clubs and associations around the world host student send-off events to celebrate Cornell’s incoming class. These events are a fantastic chance for students to build connections within their local community. Unlike an orientation, which is more structured and informational, these gatherings are designed to foster social interactions and create a sense of belonging among students. It’s all about making new friends and feeling more at home within the Big Red community!
Events are updated regularly, so be sure to check back frequently. Students will receive a personal invitation to their Cornell University email inbox!
Please note: Some locations have limited capacity and will be accessible by invitation only. We appreciate your understanding!
