The Einhorn Center for Community Engagement supports Cornellians and community partners working together to create a better world.

At the Ithaca Fire Department, CWSP student Jessie At the Ithaca Fire Department, CWSP student Jessie Sutton ’25 stepped into a project that would change the department for years to come. Tasked with transforming decades of incident logs, fire reports, EMS documentation and photos, Jessie created a digital system that is now searchable, secure and efficient for a team that answers more than 5,200 calls every year.

“What Jessie did really increases our efficiency,” said now retired Fire Chief Rob Covert ’89. “Anytime that members of the community and Cornell students have a chance to interact, it helps break through barriers of stereotypes, fostering more understanding and empathy.”

CWSP placements aren’t just jobs, they’re opportunities for students to lead, collaborate and leave a real mark on the community. Jessie’s work shows what can happen when students bring their skills into spaces built on public service.

This year’s World Languages Day brought middle and high school students from across the region to Cornell’s campus to celebrate the power of language learning, cultural awareness, and community engagement. From interactive sessions to live performances and student showcases, the day highlighted how learning another language opens doors to understanding, and to the world.

Let’s keep building bridges through language, culture, and connection!

Join us for a Monday Meet-Up focused on community engagement funding! Learn from CPFB how you can apply for up to $2,500 to fund your own project!
