Dyson students descended on Capitol Hill March 14 for Student Aid Advocacy Day, an annual event offering students the opportunity to engage lawmakers in support of federal financial aid.

The SMART program was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve had at Cornell thus far. It was extremely rewarding to be able to use direct concepts from our Dyson classes and apply it to a real-world small business, especially in a developing economy.

Last summer, Dejah Powell, Dyson ’18, led a volunteer effort to plant a community garden at her former elementary garden, a project that won several national awards.

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in Cornell’s Student Multidisciplinary Applied Research Team (SMART) as a consultant for Dirkosh Crunch, a small agri-business, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Cornell Daily Sun sits down with Vaughan Shanely, Dyson ’19, to talk about everything from her pre-riding rituals to her love of baking.

By the last night of the trip, there was a general sentiment of deep-seated appreciation for the opportunity to be exposed to the realities of agribusiness development in Uganda.

Dyson professor Jack Little’s students learn from, and publish on, accounting frauds as part of Little’s Fraud Examination course.

It’s important to reach beyond Dyson and find specific interests, so AEM students often take electives outside of CALS to flesh out their interests.

Reflect is a national nonprofit that aims to improve students’ mental health. With Reflect at Cornell, we bring students together for honest conversations.
