Today's senior spotlight is on Milani Aviles '25 f Today's senior spotlight is on Milani Aviles '25 from @cornell_upwardbound!

A biological sciences major in @cornellcas, Milani says, “I joined the Upward Bound team my sophomore summer, and I'm forever grateful that I did. Getting to know the students, offering them advice, and seeing their personalities shine has been an incredibly rewarding experience."

"Beyond the students, the staff has been incredibly kind and supportive. Liz and Kate have been amazing mentors, always 
encouraging my aspirations, even when it meant I couldn't return for another summer. My fellow student staff members have also helped foster an inclusive, safe environment that makes Upward Bound so special. This experience has not only allowed me to support and guide students but has also helped me mature and gain a stronger sense of self. "

Congratulations, Milani!

Today's senior spotlight is on Ismelda Peña '25 f Today's senior spotlight is on Ismelda Peña '25 from the Student Resource Navigator Program @cornell.trailblazers!

A human development major in @cornellhumanec, Ismelda says, “Being a Resource Navigator has been such a rewarding experience!"

"This program has taught me so much about the many factors that influence people's health beyond medicine. I've also learned a lot about the incredible resources available in Tompkins County and how essential they are to a community's overall well-being. Another meaningful part of the program is being part of a team that's incredibly passionate about public health and truly committed to making a difference in our community! 

Congratulations, Ismelda!

✨ On April 8, we gathered in the Statler Ballroo ✨ On April 8, we gathered in the Statler Ballroom to celebrate the third annual Community Engagement Awards — a night filled with reflection, recognition, and reimagining what’s possible when we work with communities, not just in them.

From faculty designing schoolyards with children, to students rethinking housing, healthcare, and healing — the evening honored work grounded in trust, collaboration, and lasting impact.

Here’s to everyone making community-engaged learning a cornerstone of Cornell’s mission!

Today's senior spotlight is on Elizabeth Goberdhan Today's senior spotlight is on Elizabeth Goberdhan '25 from @earlycollegeawareness !

A biological sciences major in @cornellcas, Elizabeth says, “Early College Awareness reminds me why I chose to pursue medicine-empowering others by opening doors that once seemed closed."

"Whether we're visiting their schools or welcoming them to Cornell's campus, seeing their excitement and curiosity grow is incredibly rewarding. It's a reminder that access and information can make all the difference — and that's something I hope to carry forward as a future physician, advocating for equitable healthcare access."

Congratulations, Elizabeth!
