Mia Desravines’ ’26 says her first year at Cornell has been “all about the ampersand.”

By that she means she’s had a chance to explore her interests in information science & Africana studies & technology & sociology & dance & the list goes on.

As a student in the Milstein Program in Technology & Humanity in the College of Arts and Sciences, Desravines also got the chance to meet with visiting speakers, take part in core courses and short courses and work on a community-engaged project highlighting the work of local leaders. She will also travel to New York City this summer for an immersive eight-week Milstein Program experience at the Cornell Tech Campus.
