The CUSD project is entirely student-run, with faculty involved as advisors, not project leaders. We strongly believe that the learning value and the preservation of our vision are maximized if the project is left in the hands of students.

Our project leaders, in addition to working on sub-teams in their respective area of expertise, manage the team and meet regularly with each of the sub-teams to ensure that work is running smoothly and according to plan. Our faculty advisors watch over the project, attend meetings, and consult with us on our designs to ensure that we are on the right track.

In addition, because students may opt to participate in CUSD for academic credit, project leaders and faculty advisors design a course curriculum to meet both the academic requirements of Cornell University and the needs of the CUSD project.
