Similar to the Alumni Panel, the Student Panel will feature four students who have pursued social entrepreneurship through startups, internships, or incoming full-time positions, during their time at Cornell. Each has a unique story about their path to pursuing social good as part of their experience in Dyson and how they hope to carry that on after leaving Dyson.
Come to this in-person, Q&A panel to learn about how you can do it too.
This year’s Alumni Panel will feature four Dyson School and Johnson MBA School alumni who have all pursued socially impactful careers after their time at Cornell. Their backgrounds range from ESG investing to equitable real estate development to working for The World Bank and more.
