Grand Challenges @Dyson provides a way for students to practice community-engaged learning as undergraduates at Cornell. The program reinforces Dyson’s vision — Our Business Is a Better World — and inspires students to use their business skills to make a positive difference.
In the Grand Challenges curriculum, students participate in three courses: a writing course during sophomore year, AEM 3000 Grand Challenges Pre-Project Immersion during junior year, and AEM 4000 or another project course during senior year. Project team faculty deliver parts of the curriculum and work with community partners to identify projects for students.
