Faculty
During Cornell’s summer term, you’ll enjoy the same great education that’s offered during our fall and spring semesters. Our special sessions, unlike those at many other universities, feature regular, full-time faculty members and provide an unparalleled opportunity to get to know these outstanding professors, many of whom are leaders in their fields.

Student experiences

"CIW in the summer is very different than CIW during the academic year as there is far more free time to take a real break and explore some part of ourselves outside our 'normal academic patterns.' I left DC with this other-worldly knowledge of career options and a greater understanding and appreciation for my own personal and academic/career development outside of the common pre-med track."

"During my CIW summer I worked at Resolution Economics, a litigation consulting firm focused on providing economic and statistical analysis in expert witness testimony. I helped analyze employment data in discrimination cases using a programming language called SAS."
