Cornell Tech is a graduate campus of Cornell University based in New York City. Cornell Tech develops pioneering leaders and technologies for the digital age. Cornell Tech brings together faculty, business leaders, tech entrepreneurs, and students in a catalytic environment to produce visionary results grounded in significant needs that will reinvent the way we live in the digital age. Cornell Tech’s temporary campus has been up and running at Google’s Chelsea building since 2012, with a growing world-class faculty, and about 150 master’s and Ph.D. students who collaborate extensively with tech-oriented companies and organizations and pursue their own start-ups. Construction is underway on Cornell Tech’s campus on Roosevelt Island, with a first phase due to open in 2017. When fully completed, the campus will include 2 million square feet of state-of-the-art buildings, over 2 acres of open space, and will be home to more than 2,000 graduate students and hundreds of faculty and staff. Cornell Tech has a strong commitment to enriching tech education for New York City public school children. Cornell has partnered with more than a dozen local schools, including PS/IS 217 on Roosevelt Island. We’re also hosting a series of events with Google to bring together stakeholders from City Hall, public schools and the tech industry to talk about how to prepare students for the digital age.
