Hi everyone,

We hope that you are doing well under the circumstances. For those who are home or here in Ithaca, please follow the guidelines of social distancing as a way to protect not only yourself but those around you who may be more vulnerable. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to any of the people listed below as well as the many others on campus who are here to help you. You are not alone in this, the Cornell Dyson and Cornell community is here for you. 

Virtual Advising and Coaching Information

The Office of Student Services and the Career Management Center will be offering advising/coaching sessions in a variety of forms which are highlighted below. The physical offices in Warren Hall will be closed to foot traffic and moving to a virtual advising and work schedule. Our goal is to continue to provide the highest level of support and assistance for our students throughout this time. Please be patient as we all work our way through this transition.

We understand there are lots of questions regarding the university's latest updates including S/U grading as well as other academic updates. Once the university announces their newest information, we will then provide you with more details about how they relate to current Dyson policy. Thank you for your patience.
