YOU DID IT!!!


The fall 2023 semester is in the books!                   

Whether you joined Dyson for the first time this fall, just completed your final semester, or you were somewhere in between, we couldn’t be prouder of your perseverance and hard work.

We have enjoyed working with you and looking forward to next semester. We hope you take a break and truly enjoy your time off. Spend time doing things that make you happy and recharge you.

Our Dyson Student Services and Advising team will also be taking some well-deserved time away. Please review our hours below and note that non-emergency emails will not be answered from December 24th through January 2nd. If you have a concern during that week that you feel cannot wait, please email alp232@cornell.edu. Thank you for understanding.

Congratulations to our more than 65 December graduates! You will always be part of our Dyson community and we look forward to watching your life after Cornell.

Take care and safe travels.
