Welcome to the Cornell CS Prospective Grad Student Visit Day!

 

On behalf of the current grad students, we would like to congratulate and welcome you to Cornell and Ithaca. We come from many different backgrounds with diverse research interests, and are looking forward to providing assistance as you consider your options for graduate studies.

As Cornell's visit day draws near, we thought you might like a preview of some of the events that are planned from March 3th to March 5th. Although the most important day is March 5th, we hope you can stay for as much of the activities as possible. We have a fun time in store for you guys!

Please don't hesitate to email us with any questions you may have (email addresses at the bottom of this page). We look forward to meeting you soon and wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.

Regards,

Tim, Stavros, and Karn
