Welcome to our Dyson Community!
We are so excited to have you joining our Dyson community. We are proud of your accomplishments thus far in your academic journey and we will spend the summer making sure you are ready for the next steps here at Cornell and in Dyson.
Starting in June, we will be offering a series of virtual information sessions called Discover Dyson, as well as one-on-one academic advising sessions and Canvas modules. Our goals are simple; enhance your understanding of what makes Dyson unique and to connect you to the people who are here to support you.
Please make sure that you are checking your Cornell email frequently. There will be a lot of information coming your way from Cornell New Student programming, residence life, financial aid and many others on campus. Always take a few moments to read through to make sure you aren't missing any requirements or deadlines.
Once again, welcome to Dyson. You are part of our community now and we look forward to getting to know you. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

This summer you will be introduced to many of the resources and opportunities within Dyson through Canvas which is the learning management system you will use in your Cornell courses. All new Dyson students will be a part of the site and will be required to work through various modules to prepare you for your journey at Cornell. You will also have the opportunity to use the discussion board to ask questions of current students, fellow new students, and staff as a way to build community. More to come soon.
NEW STUDENT TO-DO LIST
Throughout the summer you will be receving information from the Cornell New Student Programming Office as well as directly from Dyson. We know that it can be a little confusing but we will try out best to make sure that you are getting everything that you need to know. It is very important that you complete the New Student To-Do List through New Student Programs by the deadlines that they have set. The links are below.
