Join a Cornell community dedicated to growth
The Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference (CALC) is an annual event that brings together Cornell alumni from all over the world to network, learn, and share ideas. The conference provides a unique opportunity for alumni to connect with each other, as well as with university leaders, faculty, students and staff. Through a series of keynote speeches, workshops, and panel discussions, attendees can explore a range of topics related to leadership and innovation.

- Resilient leadership
- Building an inclusive culture
- Driving change and innovation
- Effective communication for leaders
- Developing high-performing teams
- Strategic thinking and planning
- Personal branding and career development
- Exclusive Cornell updates and networking
- … and more
