Distinguished Visitors
A key goal of the Berry Center is to bring business leaders, scholars and policy experts directly into the classroom. Cornell’s One-Course-At-Time (OCAAT) approach makes scheduling simple, and students often interact with visiting professionals for hours or even several days.“At other schools a visiting lecture seems like a distraction from the normal range of courses,” says January 2007 visiting speaker Cillian Ryan. “With OCAAT the visitor is a more integral part of the module and hence I think the students get a lot more out of it."
